I think everyone's had that happen to them. Or at least many, many people. I have. But I can say that I've never heard someone say my name in such a clear way that I was surprised that no one was there. It's always been that I
thought maybe I heard my name faintly or indistinctly.

Every time I think I've found a non-psychotic person who understands, they eventually prove that they don't through their speech and action.

I'm not surprised. It's easy to say you understand. It's much harder to actually understand.
I guess what I always come back to is something I've asked about before. How can you not know it's not real? Especially delusions. I tell myself that if I were experiencing hallucinations or delusions, I'd
know. But obviously people don't know. Even very smart people who've experienced delusions before can be gripped by one and be convinced it's real.
