No, theyre not aware of it. Unless. if they seek professional help, a psychologist may tell a person hes paranoid or something. Much like an obssessive-compulsive person. If he seeks for professional help, he'll know.

Some do - it depends on the degree of the illness, and whether or not they are getting treatment or being medicated. Some paranoia is actually reasonable in this day and age - its when it starts to affect your life negatively because you might be taking it to far, or you truly do have a brain chemistry disorder that is the biological cause of the illness. I know people with this condition, and with treatment and medication they can live relatively normal lives.

I believe it's certainly possible at an early stage, when the delusions are developing. I'll admit that I sometimes experience moments of persecutory delusion (and it does run in the family FWIW). The thought and awareness of this as a whole can be very disconcerting for me at times.
Oh and BTW I'd appreciate it if you'd quit watching me through my monitor... hehehe

I am bipolar and paranoia comes with my manic states. My friends and family recognize my symptoms. When they tell me, I am able to realize that I am paranoid, but the knowledge doesn't make it go away, which is very frustrating.

They have moments of clarity and realisation which are quickly swamped by their insecurities and fears.

part of the disorder is lack of insight into ones condition, so, no, they dont.
