The Persecution and Isolation of Conspiracy Truthers

Conspiracy truthers face challenges and isolation when they are the only ones in their families and friend groups who see or care about certain conspiratorial threads. This can lead to feelings of frustration and being misunderstood. COVID-19 and other highly charged events have further deepened these divisions, making conspiracy-minded individuals fear being left on the outside. Additionally, discovering and delving into conspiracy theories can take a toll on mental health, often associated with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and paranoia. However, there are resources available, such as the book 'The Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide,' which provides guidance, validation, and support for those navigating the challenges of being a persecuted truther.
