A very good friend of mine is in deep trouble. The short n sweet story:

- He's always felt like an outcast
- Did a bit too much psychedelics and his brain is a bit fried
- Short sighted causing him to not having evolved any the last few years of his life

He had the sudden epiphany of him being a glitch in this universe and this felt so real to him and says this realisation only confirms 'a pattern' he has been afraid of exploring the last few years. What he means with it is that he thinks he shouldn't have been. He was born with 'production errors' with no chance of ever succeeding on this planet. It has shook him in the most profound way and he questioned ending it. It goes without saying he hasn't felt fantastic the last year, but this was the lowest he has ever been.

Luckily he had the nerve to share this with me and I did my best to land him down on the ground and convince him into another path, at least for now. I did everything I could and he repeats he feels better, but the epiphany stands.

Reason for me sharing this here is I want to get to understand what he possibly could mean by being a glitch. I think I understand the concept, but for him this goes really deep for him. Further than what I can relate too.

Does anyone have any experience with this or understand where this comes from and how to work with this case? I want to save my friend here.

Your help is appreciated

Tell him to seek professional help and STOP psychedelics and all recreational drugs completely, that's the most important. Do some normal activities with your friend like going to the gym, keep reassuring him that the universe has unlimited potential and he is in no way a glitch in it. Tell him there is a light at the end of the tunnel no matter what he has done previously, his mind will heal it will just take time, maybe even a year for him to start thinking normally but as long as he's improving himself he should start feeling better.

Get him to start from scratch, to read this forum and get him practicing his social skills by encouraging him to get a job etc. I have a friend who feels the same way and feels like he has nothing to live for and feels like a failure - he is a weed addict and did a lot of psychedelics and got into serious debt but he is slowly getting out of his state.

He's describing delusional, bordering on psychotic, thoughts. He needs professional help ASAP.

Using grand, dissociative terms like "being a glitch" and "having production errors" is a big warning sign that someone might become psychotic in the near future. I'm not saying that he will go on a deranged killing spree, but he will pose a danger to himself (and possibly others) if these thoughts start to manifest as actions. Being dissociated means that the world becomes unreal to you, as your self detaches from what is going on in and around you.

Don't "wait and see". He needs to get help now.

Get him to seek urgent professional help and medication.

Thanks for answers. I have arranged professional help for him which he has agreed to attend asap.

What you have to do has been mentioned already. But why he thinks he's a glitch? It's because of the psychedelics. Psychedelics can trick your mind... Just google Messiah complex and psychedelics to read more about it.

I have experienced it too after taking "heroic doses" of mushrooms. Thankfully the feeling went away the day after and I was again a bit more grounded. But I think if you take psychedelics frequently you could stay in that state of mind and get weird thoughts like being a glitch in the universe.

Some researchers also theorize that most of the religious figures our world has (supposedly) had were using mind altering substances that gave them their religious experiences and transformed them into "messiahs".

Good luck finding "professional" help. Most mental health "professionals" are morons who are also deeply indoctrinated in feminist theory. One of the absolutely most self destructive things a man can ever do is ask for help, particularly from "professionals".

What do you define as "too much" psychedelics?

Can concur. You allow these new age feminist "counselors"/ "psychologists" to get a diagnosis on you and you can all but guarantee a streamlining of your freedom straight to jail.

Regardless of whether or not you have a bone to pick with mental health professionals, this has to be one of the most bone-headedly dangerous things I've ever heard one man say to another.

OP', keep us updated?

there are some more red pill psychologist types. voice for men and spartan life coach come to mind.

I don't that's necessarily a wrong realization though. we're all glitches. I don't think anyone is really put here for a particular meaning. You can create meaning though. It might have been traumatic for him because he thought everything and his life had inherent meaning before. It's something we'll never truly know though.

Update is he has control of the situation for now.

We have long, deep and meaningful conversations almost every day and he feels much better now. The realisation he had still stands, but he wants to work it through and accepts the fact that this will take a long time. Without revealing too much here we've set up initiatives that I genuinely think will put him in a much more positive path. Basically its eliminating certain elements from his life and adding fundamentally positive elements.

I think he fell into rock bottom where everything looks extremely grim and he was panicking.

Thanks for all the support and advice fellas

I will concur with this, I went to a state hospital for 2 years due to these quacks when I would have been out of jail in 6 months for the situation, and all it takes is for them to say you're dangerous to lock you in a psych ward no charge no trial, I've had it happen.

BTW I went crazy off psychedelic abuse (none of this "thinking I'm a glitch" shit) but am better now, it took about 7 months off angel dust acid and all that crazy shit to come down.
