Definition of «tripping»

"Tripping" is a slang term used to describe someone who is acting irrationally, overreacting, or being delusional about a situation. It can also mean that someone is hallucinating or seeing things that aren't there, often used rhetorically to question one's own perception. In social media discussions, asking 'am I tripping?' is a common way to seek validation from others about a specific observation or theory. The register is highly informal and usually implies a sense of confusion or disbelief.
