Here are the signs that you're secretly paranoid.

16) You always jump to the worst conclusion when you hear a noise during the night

There you are, lying in bed and you haven't quite got to sleep yet, then all of a sudden you hear a noise. You automatically think that it's someone breaking into the house and you stay paralyzed in your bed. More than likely it was just the wind, but you will always overreact as if your life is in danger.

15) You always think someone said your name

14) You have an irrational fear of elevators

You will still get in them, but you're afraid that it will get stuck and you will end up trapped. If it did happen, you would panic and make the situation worse. You always breath a sigh of relief when you get to your floor and you just hope that the door won't get stuck.

11) You run into bed after you turn off the light

It's even worse when you're going to bed and you have to turn off the lights. You run into your bed after you turn off the lights so that none of the demons will get you. It's understandable when you're young, but if you're a fully fledged adult, it's kind of sad.

8) You believe in almost every superstition

Whether it's stepping on a crack, cracking glass or walking under a ladder you do your best to steer clear of them. In all honesty who wants seven years of bad luck. If you happen to do any of these by accident, your day is ruined and you trick yourself into believing that it will come back to bite you. You say you're not that superstituous, but really you are.

7) You always look over your shoulder when you text someone
