I dont think you have anything to worry about of becoming paranoid like ur mum since u are very well aware of the whole situation. Maybe your 'shyness' is the cause of feeling insecure and not wanting to socialize with society in fear that other people may find out about your family's history and about ur mum.

Probably. Your past might have had a great effect on you... but don't worry about it. I think a lot of people had a past which made them shy. Even I had a past which made me shy till now but I'm still trying to overcome it. Don't be afraid that you might become like your mum in the future. Your mum is your mum, and you are you. There's a whole lot of difference. It's how you make your life. If anything happens to you, it's you who did it, no one else. Practice overcoming your shyness. Going out more will help. Sports is also a way to help yourself become more sociable. Don't be afraid of: starting any form of conversation; and taking risks. Overcoming it doesn't happen overnight. You might not overcome your shyness completely, but at least your developing yourself and exploring life. Don't let your past become such a burden that it stops you from things you want to become. Things will be alright for you, you'll see.

You're a wise young man to figure this out...you are sheltering yourself, and you must think you are protecting others from the same pain,...you have a big heart, and are just thinking of others...although you don't need to feel this way...If you are worried, you know now, that you can go to a doctor and instead of putting yourself and others through what your mom has suffered, you will be on top of it...you might find friends here that are going through what you are now, and you will have a suppport group...air out your feelings here, and make a few select friends that will stand by you....God bless you sweetheart, and say your prayers through Jesus, and They will protect you...

You're probably worrying unneccesarily. You do not say how old you are. Young people sometimes go through periods when they lose some confidence for various reasons.
You need reassurance from a different source other than this one. I would hope you'd be able to talk this over with someone (your father, another relative, a clergyman) you'd feel comfortable confiding in.

You're question is a fair one. And i really want to help you...i'm not doing this for the love of the game! To be able to help you there are a few things that i need to know about you: Age/ occupation/hobby's/girlfriend or single /your mum's diagnosis...and so on. For the beginning a guess that would be enough!
