It’s awesome when people encounter someone with OCD for the first time and they keep coming back to “wow, that guy is so irrational” like people have no idea what it is like, or schizophrenia is like, I don’t think they are willing to make the leap or it scares them. I always give people the example of a schizophrenic man I knew online suffering from hallucinations of door knocks at night. Even after the guy had a video camera set up to cross reference with his own senses, it’s not like he stops hearing the door knock that requires him to either dismiss it as implausible, or check the equipment.
