I just realize that when you meet a person who claims to have seen a ghost.
They just told you that they see hallucinations.
And likely got Schizophrenia.
- The worst part is they likely don't even know themself, and if you told them to seek professional help. They would likely not like you any more.

Well that is interesting and I feel like this happens with old folks unfortunately and then they end up in a home.
Indeed interesting.
I could imagine that it is more likely to see hallusinations at old age.
"Why is that?" - Likely because you know exactly how your mom looked like. It would not be that hard to visualize someone you remember clearly in your brain.
For your brain to invent the image of someone out of thin air and hallusionate it to existense is a bigger task/harder.
- If I can dream about my dead mom, why would it be it much harder to hallusinate her as a ghost after her death?
- I could likely do it right here, right now. If I really wanted to hallusinate my mom. (I'am a super mental viszual person) but I won't attempt because it could lead to a permanent habbit/problem π
Ok, I just remember that I got periods where I'am pretty paranoid. After living in an apartment building with mentally ill people as neighbours. (just plain bad luck!)
And when I got a periods with high paranoia, I feel people following me, things looking at me etc. but the big difference is that Ther Is Nothing when I look behind me, or check if something is looking at me from the kitchen etc.
Even when I'am eating from dumpsters at night and it is as black as it can be, and even with paranoia, I never see a freaking ghost.
In the paranoia periods I sometimes also get the idea that an spider is a spider on my table or in my bed. But it is just a silly idea that pop up in my head and there is nothing in reality.
- Thanks for making me realize some odd habbits/patterns that I don't even think about any more π
- PS: I think the paranoia thing is part of some sort of PTSD after my mentally ill nabours.
Once putting my knife like 15 cm from my throat to show me how he would kill my neighbour when he left his apartment...
What about feeling energies? I feel things that I canβt seeβ¦
I just realised you are not Socrates
And I just realized that we all live our own interpretations of life in our minds based on sensory inputs, and what one person calls a mental illness may be another's reality.
Perhaps dismissing an entire person based on their perception of reality as illness, and believing the need to be repaired to conform to society's expectations, is just another form of censorship? It may be on par with, or perhaps more insidious than, limiting free speech.
It is not up to any of us to decide if another's views are valid or healthy, as long as they aren't harming others. I expect to be allowed to hold my own views and freely live my life, that means I must maintain that same standard for others. ESPECIALLY those who I disagree with, or feel are wrong.
I don't care if they say they have seen a ghost. Maybe they have, but it wasn't for me to see, and doesn't affect my life.
In all things, don't trust. Verify.
