1: its one thing to be concerned if someone might be exhibiting symptoms of psychosis. its another to insist they are. you dont know them and even if youre correct, you dont know how to best approach the situation because this person is a stranger

2: if you were so concerned about psychosis, why are you laughing at them.

(2.5: are they lucid dreaming or are they psychotic? you cant have both.)

3: the line between spirituality and psychosis is thin, and highly dependent on the person. you as a stranger have no right to impose your own views on what you THINK is going on.

4: nobody owes you proof of anything. you're a stranger and its a spiritual belief. by defenition theres no concrete proof they can give you, or even should give you, a condescending stranger on the internet

5: laughing at reality shifters isnt gonna make them stop. its gonna push them into more insular communities because thats the only place they're not mocked, and those insular communities can turn out to be predatory or even cultlike. and they cant leave because The Outside World will mock them for their beliefs, and even if this is a toxic situation, at least they're accepted.

6: did you know there have been scientific studies on tulpamancy? "haha thats stupid and fake and its clearly this other thing" isnt exactly the scientific method, sweetie. youre not Woke And Based And Factpilled, you just like laughing at people

7: people have done this about every spirituality. do you practice tarot? there are people who think you're psychotic and delusional and that you need to be told this in the most mockingly condescending way "for your own good"

8: i'm psychotic and spiritual. i have a fucking therapist who i talk to about both my symptoms and my practice. ive spent years figuring out the line between the two and how to safely practice without diving straight into delusion. for instance, there are certain things i don't do because i will develop a legitimate god complex and believe i'm a god on earth and unkillable. telling me everything i do is a symptom of psychosis is just gonna make me spiral.

9: you do not know people better than they know themselves.

10: YOU DO NOT KNOW PEOPLE BETTER THAN THEY KNOW THEMSELVES.

11: you just want to cringe at weirdo spiritualists but want to make it into a moral issue so you say theyre all stupid deluded psychos so you can freely mock how stupid they are but fuel your savior complex by cooing over how sad and damaged they are and how youre mocking them for their own good
