I know people are being very nice and considerate, and that's the correct thing, but I've always despised this type of schizophrenic word salad. The obtuse and pompous language to describe "theories" that would sound silly if stated simply, the allusion to Secret Knowledge with the Cool Capitalization, the repeated statement of their enlightenment and the foolishness of the "sheeple". It is dripping with arrogance.

Yes, there's other mental health reasons for writing this, but I think we tend to ignore this also comes from a place of vanity and self-importance.

This take is sad to read. Having had the unfortunate experience of dealing with more than one loved struggling with a break from reality, I can say you’re probably way off. A lot of things we assign to personality traits or character flaws like this issue, are genuinely part of the mental health disorder. They typically aren’t present when the individual is at their baseline or “normal” state of mind, only appearing when the disorder is in full swing and untreated.

You are probably correct, I'm sorry. It's just that my experiences of this type with family members were much more "my food is poisoned" or claiming to see the nonexistent love child of another person. The whole secret knowledge/sheeple attitude seemed like the expression of some personality trait, but you are right, I have no personal experience to claim that.
