It's becoming clear to me that thinking you're crazy is what they want us to think. And it's very clear to me that neither you, me or anyone else has to be alone in this. Although none of us seem to be able to convince those directly around us. As many of us as there are we all seem to be islolated within our own social circles.

What enlightenment are we coming to? This is not the first time I have heard that.

Although I can tell when someone is trying to tune into me or pushing on me for lack of a better term or understanding. Anybody know about these things? I mean really know? I would like to be better and this. And will it come back once a little stress comes off?

You are the observer. Everything else is thought derived from the observation, from all the senses and rich combinations thereof.

The lens is called the ego.
Most people are unaware of the ego in themselves and live AS the ego.
If you try and deny your ego, then this IS your ego.
By denying your ego you may feel a sense of superiority as you have finally separated from your ego and others have not. You feel 'I am enlightened'. This IS your ego.
Simply, live KNOWING that you have an ego that distorts how you perceive reality (and more importantly how you perceive other people). This is enough.
