I agree and I would take this one step further. I would challenge that not just our senses are a shared hallucination but how those senses are perceived are just as prone to delusional thinking/beliefs not set in reality as anyone else. Someone can objectively type a neutral statement but you can interpret it as passive aggressive and now have a delusional belief that this person dislikes you, assuming you know their intent and mind. I myself run into this a lot with people who aren’t on the schizophrenia spectrum of disorders: they tend to believe wholly that their interpretation of stimuli is equivalent to reality, and are highly resistant to the idea that their impressions can be wrong. This is anywhere from “you didn’t text me back after 10 minutes, you don’t like me” to “I like this programming language therefore I end up believing it’s technically necessary” and especially the “I can’t conceptualize someone else’s experiences, therefore they must be lying”.
