So, if you're deluded about being psychotic, are you psychotic?

Pointless question? I know 😂

No...well...Maybe...OK then, yes. Does looking at an illusion make us delusional ?

@Wraithorn I like to think that there's a difference between a mere irrational thought (for example when I keep over analyzing what someone said and come up with possible but unlikely explanations), and between a delusion (like if I believe I'm queen Elizabeth). In the first example, I know I'm being irrational and understand that I'm overthinking because I'm anxious. In the second one though, I'm not at all in touch with reality. The solid evidence wouldn't make me realize I'm deluded, because well.... I'd be deluded

@SW-User Sure, sure. On the other hand reality can be relative. It depends on the collective acceptance of things. Also us Humans can be realistic or delusional at separate times in connection with the same thing.
Ex : When people speak to a God it's called prayer (a good thing). When God speaks to people it is officially known as psychosis (a bad thing).

@Wraithorn that is one creepy lizard. After staring for a few minutes all I can see is two lizard people copulating on a branch.

@Fernie It's body art by a reallty talented artist. Those two women are a chameleon. If you search for it online you'll find a gif for this same pic. It looks quite interesting. This is another one of my favourites that includes 5 women.
