Ok. Most of it is truth, but they seem so confident that there is no manipulation going on that they can't see the truth if it is waved in front of their eyes.
Truth is a very relative thing & each person has their own definition of it. Check the L&D section here for MANY examples, each person is living in a parallel alternate universe that has their own rules of attraction & how relationships start. This site is called
Wrong Planet because some people believe that us Aspies are some kinda space aliens that are not living on our home planet

We may never know the real truth for anything. For all we know we are living in scripted reality show & don't know we are the stars like the movie
The Truman Show. Or we're living in a fake made-up virtual reality type world. Or we are dead in in some kinda made up fake world that is a the butt of some particle joke. Anything can be theoretically possible in some kinda universe if we can imagine it & we can imagine anything. Maybe I've gotten so misanthropic that I'm starting to become a nihilist
