yeah, having delusions/hallucinations is "bad," its not something a healthy brain does, but like... if you're already disordered, you're not making it worse by accepting your disorder and co-existing with it.
im schizotypal and when im stressed, i have a cast of "demons" that i feel the presence of. two are scary, and one is honestly chill. they aren't real to anyone else except me, they cant hurt me or anyone else, and they only exist in my head. but my brain is part of me. it's like most of me, and so these hallucinations do affect me.
my friends kinda play along with me, they will check rooms for me to make sure the demons cant get me, theyll go into rooms first if im scared, theyll walk me to bed if i feel in danger. i collect porcelain dolls, and i believe they protect me from "demons", when i feel afraid my friends will tell my dolls to keep me safe and scare the "demons" away.
the demons dont exist, but theyre a part of my life. i could ignore them and supress that part of my brain, but thats extremely difficult and usually makes it worse, because even though they arent real to the world, they Are real to me.
basically all this is to say, if someone believes they can turn into a wolf or that they have a real tail or sum shit, mind ur own buisness. thats theyre reality and theyre using online spaces to express that reality. the people in their real life will alert the right people if they think the person is a danger to themself or others. you reality checking them is not only totally pointless but could infact reinforce their delusions and make them More likely to be a risk. chances are that they know theyre disordered but they just wanna play into their delusions online because its a coping mechanism.
basically stfu and leave disordered alterhumans alone 🫶
