Remember that humans are naturally prone to delusion, not just "schizos", and everyone needs to prune their mental garden to stay rational.
If you find yourself often accused of paranoia ("the state forces you to inject your kid with retard drugs right before forced indoctrination"), it's a good idea to spend some time examining your thought processes. If you're rational, this will help you make sure your arguments are logically sound, the better to convince others. If some of your beliefs are irrational, it will help you to minimise that.
The biases in thought that support a delusion occur before you're really aware of them, so the best way to combat them is a sort of internal debate. After taking in some new piece of information, question your first thoughts about it - make a logical counterargument to your assumptions. When you fight back with a rebuttal, question that in turn, and so on. The point is not to "win" this internal debate, but to make sure your ideas are properly examined.
The usual biases leading to paranoid delusion are: jumping to conclusions ("this PROVES that!", does it really? And entirely? Work it out logically); false dichotomy ("either they're 100% right, or I am!", failure of a particular argument or piece of evidence does not invalidate the whole); disqualifying evidence ("this is wrong because it's fabricated by the conspiracy!", you might label anything which contradicts your view as invalid for one reason or another while giving anything supporting you a free pass), overgeneralisation ("this happened once, so must happen every time!", self-explanatory).
