Isn't that nuts sometimes how people don't recognize it? I think it's denial, honestly. I once flipped out and was very upset because I thought the government was coming to round us up in FEMA camps to kill us, and I was very upset in a distressed sort of way, not an angry way. But then my mother and her husband took it personally and turned it into a huge fight lmao. They were genuinely pissed off at me and engaging as though it were a normal fight, and I was psychotic the entire time. Weeks later when the episode was winding down and I looked back on that fight, I was just like wtf really?
