Grandiose delusions (GDs) are false beliefs that someone has an inflated sense of their worth, power, or identity. Voices tell them they're billionaires wit copious houses, etc. They're definitely not all negative.
2nd City skit: 2 voice hearers 6ft apart on a park bench. One yells at the void then stops. Then the other yells at his void & stops. Then they yell together waving their fists. Then stop & wave at each other. I hear “them” as group voice parasites like Charles Stross Laundry File characters. I’m Bob Howard, Computational Necromancer telling P45 to bugger off. I hear “this is how, this is how...” Which becomes “this is HAL, this is HAL” then this is Hell, this is hell. The words don’t change but after 100K repetitions I get the implied message.
Not sure if it’s because I’m not a licensed therapist, but what happens when you have a talk exactly like this with a loved one and they stop you mid sentence to say “I know what you’re trying to do here. They tried the same thing in the hospital. I’m not in psychosis. I really am being invaded by technology and once I finish collecting all the evidence, you’ll see!”
I reckon that you should help them collect evidence so to speak. Design an experiment with them where they essentially give you the ideas for the experiment. Have them modify it to the point where X = the delusion is true and Y = the delusion is not true. When eventually Y happens, since they designed their own experiment it might help them realise it's not true rather than think you are misinterpreting/ colluding against them. This channel has a video on it as well. There is no too late, but psychology is still developing so it might appear that way. Please don't be discouraged
Very good demonstration about normalizing hallucinations. Thank you for uploading it.
normalising video, talking about voice hearing, and when people hallucinate in general population
Research has to go into why the voices during a hallucination are always negative.
They are not always negative. Some people have benevolent and encouraging voices.

@@ozztennkey trait of narcissism
It's cultural. Studies have shown that schizophrenic voices are less negative in Asia and Africa.
Why not a reporting bias? People with negative voices are much more likely to seek help and therefore be counted in the statistics

That's true. It generally means you're too late.
