Ford got drunk and started rambling about aliens and stuff?

Nice, I was in one too, then I got transferred to a uterus, it was quite an experience.

Well I can’t confirm that it would happen but based off you, it is highly probable.

It’s true and while I don’t have concrete evidence and it’s merely a theory.. I can predict so based off your current behaviour

That’s not true either, you can have delusional thoughts without being mentally ill, it’s just commonly associated with mental illness.

I can’t say if you do as I haven’t met you and don’t know your history and current situation but I will predict that you will be diagnosed with one in the future, unrelated to this delusion.

Ah yes, another common reaction of denial. Throughout our conversation you haven’t given me any reason to believe your words or proof of its authenticity. I suggest giving me evidence before accusing

You seem defensive of your delusional belief, it’s a perfectly common reaction as mentioned

You seem defensive yet you aren’t making any rational retorts

It’s a false belief that goes against clear scientific fact and yet you insist on it despite the evidence without giving any of your own to support your point

You have a delusional belief that your stuffed animals are alive

Prove it, I could say the same for you and anyone else claiming to be “sane”. You haven’t given me any reason to believe your claims

How so? Many mentally ill patients aren’t aware they have a mental illness, this is one of the contributing factors as to why mental illness is harder to care for as opposed to physical ailments.

Again, you still aren’t answering any of my aforementioned questions.

Base your claims on fact, where is your sources, research, evidence, quotes, etc.

Also you haven’t answered my aforementioned question as to what your definition of “insane” is, it’s not a medical term and is merely an umbrella label.

Define insane and give your reasoning behind why you believe so. Claiming I’m insane and am experiencing delusions is a serious accusation, please state your reasoning and evidence.

Defensiveness is also a very common reaction.

How so?

You do realise saying “I’m not delusional” doesn’t help your case, denial is a common reaction.

I’ve literally listed in earlier replies as to why that belief is delusional

Off myself

You do, why would you believe it without reason?

You don’t want to be a burden to an “alive” stuffed animal so a dead stuffed animal should suffice no? It’s not like either can tell you they don’t want to be burdened by you or have emotions.

The reason why I’d think you’re delusional is bc you have the belief of an inmate object to be alive. You claim to not be hallucinating (I can’t confirm that seeing as I’m relying on your statement, someone hallucinating may not know of their hallucinations) and this isn’t an illusion of sort.

A logical theory would be that you’re delusional. Of course I’m unable to tell you the cause seeing as that I have no reference of your current situation, past and relationships. I also have not met you and am unable to draw any conclusion.

A less extreme example of delusional behaviour would be being paranoid of people staring at you in public. Which isn’t true and has no factual basis, and it’s a delusion commonly accompanied with social anxiety.

Okay so would you prefer it? There are services and tutorials for you to do it online if needed. They are in fact dead animals so you shouldn’t have an issue “burdening” them.

Also you don’t need to hallucinate to be delusional, it’s not synonymous. In this case, youve given me no reason to believe that you aren’t delusional.

How do you know the taste….

Again, please back your opinion up or clearly convey your point, comparing the soft toy to an actual animal or pillow or giving details as to why the soft toy seems to be living.

Also yes, that is a real life case of a schizophrenic cannibal, Richard Chase. It’s a rather famous case due to its gruesome fashion and reference to the fictional vampire. He genuinely believed this and acted as such due to these delusions.

How about a taxidermy animal, it is dead after all. Would that be better as opposed to the stuffed animal?

You’re giving me no reasoning but to think you’re delusional. As I’ve said, what you’re claiming is a fact but you’re saying it’s an opinion while treating it factually. How is it alive? Since you insist that it is, how can it die?

If a man claimed that alien forces would steal his blood if he didn’t eat or blend animals and humans, because his heart was shrinking and drinking blood would stop it.. wouldn’t you think he was delusional?

What do you consider to be dead then? Should I kill a rabbit and give it to you as a replacement for the soft toy you irrationally believe is real?

Then convey your reasoning behind it. What you’re claiming isn’t an opinion but a matter of fact, if I claimed that gravity didn’t exist, on what grounds would my claim be formed upon? Why did I come to such a conclusion? Does it hold up in reality?

Now if it were simply an opinion, youve still proven nothing and haven’t backed it up in any way, why do you believe so? What thought process led you there? What part of the stuffed animal made you believe it were to be alive?

Of course I don’t understand, it’s illogical and entirely emotion based. If you want me to understand, back your points up with scientific studies and research, the bare minimum would be simplify the emotion.

It isnt living therefore it can’t be alive nor dead, if it makes you feel any better you may simply kill it or inflict an action that would be considered lethal to actual living beings.
