I am (and esp have been) pretty lonely, and this is it, there's no sanity tests for thoughts. In good situations, other people provide a grounding, stabilizing influence. Without them, the mind has to do this by itself, leading to some pretty extreme overcompensating and "just so" stories.

That is what allowed them to not fall to group think and to overcome fear. (The analysis was done by some Jewish institute).
