Four general maxims […]
[…] will prove to be an effective remedy against paranoia, if one understands how true they are.

The first is:
remember that the motives behind your actions are not always as altruistic as they appear to you.

The second is:
do not overestimate your merits.

The third is:
do not expect others to care about you as much as you care about yourself.

And the fourth is:
do not imagine that people are so interested in you that they have a particular desire to persecute you.

.: Bertrand Arthur William Russell, "The Conquest of Happiness" 1930 :.
