Question if my history of lack theory of mind contributed to delusional thoughts

NAS73676

I wondered if my history of lack of theory of mind contributed to delusional thoughts.

The first delusion and and second delusions I had throughout my childhood and adolescence until the age of 16. 

Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I had a delusion that no one has a face, because I couldn't read facial expressions on time, and my second delusion was that some people were plotting against me, and sometimes became scared and violent when my routine changed, and it made my former prosecutory delusions worse, as I misread people's intentions, due to my history of lack of theory of mind.

  • It sounds like it could be good to explore your imagination. Many of us are hyperphantic and have very vivid internal vision. Coupled with misunderstanding and language difficulty, assigning images to words or not getting the information we need to understand a thing correctly can lead to misinterpretations. 

    By nature we desire dependability and grounding. From some research, I’ve heard this has to do with our Gamma waves. And we also experience a more hostile environment. Put all these together and you’re not wrong or delusional. You may be trying to find a way to create congruity within your understanding of the world. 

    Still, it doesn’t sound easy. X
