In my experience with The Building, I would tell lots of people about it. I would also tell them that I knew it sounded unbelievable. However, thanks to my so called friends backing me up, I felt okay telling others because some people "believed" me. Which I know now was just them tricking me for their amusement.
But, here's an ironic thing. I happened to read a news article about a local girl in my town who was diagnosed with sz. Her beliefs were centered around a local amusement park using mind control. Anyway, the article was about her going into remission. I remember so clearly thinking how weird her beliefs were and how lucky I was not to have an illness like sz. Yet at the exact same time I was 100% certain that I was being hunted by this secret organization due to being the chosen one.
So, I was able to know people would think my belief was weird but believed it was true. but I wasn't able to compare my belief with another person's odd belief and see a resemblance.
I think about that a lot. I think it's really fascinating and kind of scary.
