    I’ve literally seen people say “I’m not here to tell anyone else what’s what, but for myself, in my heart, I know XYZ.”

    This suggests that the person doesn’t care whether they are living in the same reality as others. The phrase “my truth” is sometimes used as well.

    Personally I’m horrified by someone who will openly declare what they believe but then try to act like they aren’t making a statement about what’s true. It probably actually means that they just think everyone else is wrong. But it could also be taken to mean that they don’t even subscribe to the idea of base, shared reality being the same for everyone. Either way is pretty bad.
