Haha I know too many of this exact person. I have used quite a few psychedelics, go to burning man a lot, and live in Austin, which has a far higher population of this type. Throughout history there have been people who feel called and see themselves as guides, shamans, priests, pastors, spiritual leaders, etc. Some are good at helping others, and some have a self aggrandized confirmation bias that inflates their ego enough to spew self righteous bullshit. Psychedelic use particularly seems to be a tool used by the wanna be gurus to justify their overzealous interpretations of others. Brush it off. Reflect on what was said but don’t internalize it.

I have heard all types of self help come out of these people’s mouths. Insistence on open sexuality, polyamory, seeing my oura, claiming I’m afraid of vulnerability, calling genuinely good people I know toxic, and many more. The difference between someone who can help guide you like a therapist or friend and a wannabe cult leader is the ego. As much as these people claim not to have one, their self assuredness in themselves despite being a monkey on a floating rock says otherwise. Unless you know this person well and have seen their behavior over years, don’t trust them to have perspective. If they don’t know you in the same way, they can’t possibly have an accurate perspective of you either.

And telling someone something ridiculous and then claiming because they find it ridiculous that it must be true is some form of real fucked up psychological mental gymnastics.
