Eh, just kind of a sad paranoid schizophrenic. "Gang stalking" and "targeted individual" are a dead giveaway.
Unfortunately, plenty of people who aren't schizophrenic believe in 'gang stalking.'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_stalking
People believe virtually anything on the internet. People believed 'birds aren't real' was true even though it was intentionally started to parody conspiracy theories.
There's no way they aren't simply undiagnosed schizophrenics.
The breakdown of reasoning and rationality is there, the wild leaps. From there is neuroplasticity: the more they practice having such thoughts, they pave their neural pathways deeper and deeper, make the thoughts more reflexive until that's all that's left.
These people start off joking around with conspiracies, they literally give themselves schizoaffective disorders from being too ignorant and gullible to meet a conspiracy they can't be tricked by. They learn to just think this way.
I don't think you really understand what schizophrenia is as a disorder.
They're alive, I think.
But how did they get two other people to share in their delusion together? That's the weird part to me. It's like they're trying to make a cult.
Those people want nothing more than finding like minded individuals. They get really frustrated because no one believes their crazy shit. It sucks for those trying to help them.
