So, I've always been fairly paranoid, but recently it seems like it's been taking a toll on my life. I'm often paranoid that several of my friends are going to stab me in the back, or possibly mis understand anything I say or do, and take that as the intentions to hurt them, when it's not. I'm excessively afraid of many sharp objects, especially knives, and sometimes I'll contemplate for several minutes different scenarios that could happen. I'm excessively afraid of being alone, but at the same time, I'm always worried that somebody's going to do something to hurt me. I'm also worried that I'll always say something stupid, or make myself look like an idiot or something. And like I said, it's always been there, but lately it's expanded a lot. And I was wondering if maybe I should see somebody about this.

These are phobias. If you really want to tacke tham, yes you should see someone. You have to be exceptionally strong minded to help yourself in this situation. Your mind will usually succumb to the phobia.
So I suggest seeing a hypnotherapist. I never have but I heard they can help. If not try a psycologist, not a psychiatrist. If drugs are needed to curve the fears, then you might need to see the latter.

thanks, for the advice. I need to talk to my mom about it too, I suppose.

Sounds like anxiety. A regular doctor (general practitioner) can usually prescribe something for anxiety to see if it makes the problem go away. They do that for college students, anyway,... not sure about younger.
