I have a friend who feels that anytime I say anything about her is telling her business. It has gotten to the point that she is paranoid. I want to keep her as a friend but I'm tired of her accusing me of saying stuff I don't say. Any suggestions?

What have you said, and to whom when mentioning her name. Do you say it when she is present or when she is not present? If so then how does the information get back to her and who is telling her stories. Someone could be twisting what you have said when presenting it back to her. It could be she is paranoid for a reason...something going on inside her or in her life so she is more touchy. I could not begin to guess what might cause her to feel like that.
If you could post again and go into a lot more detail, perhaps it'll be easier for all of us here to help you better. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
