    What in the actual fuck. I just spent over an hour reading posts on there. The my life as an Epstein girl is one that really stuck out to me. Like these people are obviously batshit insane. I couldn’t even begin to recall half as many specific details about my own life as these folks are throwing around in bouts of insanity. What causes something like this? Sounds exhausting but they certainly believe what they are talking about, I think? I suppose people night put in a ton of effort LARPing but idk. I’m not sure what I think about all this stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like this before.

      I occasionally lurk these spaces to remind myself lots of people are prone to magical thinking. I figure the people there basically fall into four camps:

      • Genuinely schizophrenic.
      • “Spiritual gurus” who fancy themselves the next Buddha (overlaps with 1 but not always).
      • People who are afraid of reincarnation who got sucked in by the subreddit. I feel for them as someone who is prone to fit into this category. When you hate this world and feel there’s something deeply wrong with it, this worldview can provide satisfying answers.
      • Larpers, bots, and dicks. Basically anyone who just wants to egg the other people on.
