Me (13 years old at the time): Dad, Mom’s cheating on you. I saw her making out with this man.

Dad: Listen here, princess. The guy’s filthy rich, and when you have money, it’s normal to have a hot mistress like your mom.

Me: But aren’t you jealous?

Dad: laughs

I was flabbergasted, lmao.

Not one particular thing, but had a friend of a few years suddenly turn evangelical christian after being a pretty chill gamer dude and often hilarious troll online.

Just one day does an about face and now every single fucking conversation comes back to "The Lord" and his faith and Jesus and prayer and do I want to join his church and please let's talk more about the Kingdom of Heaven and also Trump isn't that bad, he means well, the people at church say so.

Just no, fuck off totally. I can't deal with someone always trying to push some utterly delusional moral superiority on me, It's literally like having someone you know die.

I also had a sibling go full Qanon, which seemed to pivot to just spiritual shit and talking to aliens as of late. No contact, so I don't know the details or what happened to the shadowy cabal of pedophiles since they were actually found.

I know online keyboard warrior armchair expert types always jump to mental health diagnoses but that sounds a lot like someone I know who has poorly regulated BPD/schizophrenia

I go the other direction and have just assumed now that everyone has a crippling undiagnosed mental health problem.

Equality for all.
