The stigma of unshared perceptions and risk of dangerousness and friendship

Imagine if people you'd call a friend would think that you were
dangerous only upon hearing one fact: that they heard voices or had
experiences of communication with another consciousness.

This isn't about stigma. This is about trust in another person. It's
pretty much the foundation of friendship.

I'm trying to see the other side of this. This one's hard. What's the
value of a friendship built upon lies? I'm stumped. I'm sure an answer
will come to me.
