I think it's all to do with our ability to empathize and have theory of mind. Keep at it for long enough and it becomes real to that person, even if it is an untestable subjective experience. But there's a difference between having a real relationship and believing you're in a relationship... right, Thena? Babe?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
