Well, paranoia is much more than that. Paranoia is an overstated and unsubstantiated sense of suspicious or mistrust of someone. During paranoia, you may develop false beliefs that someone or something is planning to harm you or has evil intentions toward you. If you cannot distinguish fact from fiction there you have an impairment in relative awareness. If you are absolutely persuaded that others are against you and you cannot figure out alternative explanations for how you feel, then your paranoia is delusional in nature and intensity. In psychosis this is the major problem- people cannot tell what is real and what is fiction.
