There is something to be said about people who have invested in mindfulness practices and worked on their mental health/had therapy. I'm not going to say just therapy or like therapy is the only way to get there but especially going dating again in my 30s there has been a lot of moments when it is very clear the person hasn't been to therapy /needs therapy/ hasn't 'dealt' with stuff.
As someone on the other side of having had therapy, tried having regular mindfulness practices in the form of meditation, working out etc - it does hit different when you interact with someone (particularly same demographic as oneself) whose not been through it or worked on themselves.
And you can't tell them that because they don't know - take a horse to water and all that and there is a lot of stigma whether external or from themselves. I have a lot of people in my life who consistently claim these 'things' aren't for them (including pharmaceutical solutions too) and then basically are very negative because they expect change from well... Not change.
There is a perspective I think that is mostly only accessible if you have done this kind of work. But not special knowledge of reality
I think for instance meditation practice super helped me not hold onto my current emotional state and does make you truly realise you are often the head author of your own suffering/you are protracting an emotional event that maybe only last seconds or minutes to hours and days.
So in that way perhaps you could stretch it to the nature of one's own experience of reality but In terms of any kind of 'objective' truth of reality to lack a better term at this time... A real stretch .
