I literally think a method like this is used in (cognitive science) labs to create the experience of depersonalization so it can be studied. It's some kind of mirror trick that you look into.

This is a thing but I'm drunk and I learned about it in a social psych class two years ago so no help from me

I am also not sober, and I remember that they had these mirror machines to look into at the lab I didn't work at that was housed in my graduate school. It may have been to make people have an out body experience. It's definitely a thing.

It also looks like one of those expensive, custom "rustic" houses people build in the middle of a suburb development with slightly more trees than usual so they can have their idyllic woodsy life without being more than five minutes from a mall.

So let's say someone I know is getting to be this way, and that someone is family. How would I confront them?

I'd start by getting a professional involved. I know a frequent delusion is that the meds to help with this are a form of government mind control(at least every paranoid schizophrenic I have know had this delusion when they were off their meds). You are going to want a plan of attack that includes most, if not everyone, who cares about them, and good luck dealing with it before it gets to nightmare levels.

Are you sure? Maybe this universe differs in only a single insignificant way from your home universe. Like maybe in your prior dimension America was founded on July 5th, or Libertarianism wasn't crushed in its infancy, or the turkey was America's national bird instead of the eagle.

According to the map in the background, they are counting the original 13 colonies of the USA (which granted, was part of the British Empire). So does that mean they are adding in ALL the medals the USA won or just the ones by athletes that are from/live in the original colonies??? What a bizarre thing to be proud of, Heather!

She must be counting just athletes from the original 13, otherwise she could claim all of China for just Hong Kong. Good thing Michael Phelps was born in Maryland.

There's not really a GOOD way. There are more and less effective ways but none are gonna make everyone happy. And everyone is different too. If you are too subtle they might take it as you being part of the conspiracy, too blunt and they might just think you are being an rear end in a top hat.
For me it took a very bad episode, trying to kill my family, and losing a very important job to get help. I don't know the best way to help others unfortunately.
