I think there must be some disciplined way to differentiate between delusion and apprehension of a real situation, don’t you?
Yeah. I notice when it's paranoia and when it's real. I know this is real now. Because I've fucked with them back. There's an exact time frame after I pissed a certain person off. That person is very well connected with the underground lifestyle. I was completely fine before that event.
I will say it’s pretty fucked up how the notion of a textbook delusion involving one being targeted by a group, socially isolates any individual who is targeted by a group.
I have an extremely rich fellow dedicating millions to an ongoing campaign. It’s personal, and it’s tailor made for me. I’m quite socially isolated anyway, so there’s no one close enough to me to care, let alone actually believe me when I say my reasons for believing this.
