Try to bear with me, if you can, as insane as this may sound. Ever since I was a kid, I used to think I was the only conscious person, and that everyone else acted and did things that I was unconsciously imagining, and that the world was just something I made up in my head. I didn't know it back then, but I guess it's called solipsism?

The aggravating thing about this is, however tin foil crazy it may sound, I still believe it to some extent, and when I see others that say they're suicidal or depressed (which I've often felt), I feel like it's some sort of ruse, that no one really could feel what I feel, because I'm the only one who can feel at all. When I try to go on places like /r/depression, to see that others are feeling the same way I do maybe, I just feel like I'm reading a script or something. I can empathize and sympathize, but I can't help but think the world is not real. I don't know, does anyone else think like this at all? Why do I do this?

Stop watching the matrix and stop doing whatever drugs you were doing sperg-lord.

I was pretty much expecting that sort of response, but I just thought, after thinking this for so long, is there anything to it, or am I just slowly descending into madness? Was there a particular moment where a switch was flicked? Is it me or is it them?

You really are the most arrogant man on the planet to think the world is something you made up and that we are actors playing in your little world.

Grow the fuck up. Schedule a meeting a therapist and find out what made your brain break.
>>
>>17587973
You sound bored. Find a hobby.
>>
>>17587997
No, no, it's nothing like that. It's not even in an arrogant way, it's in a confusing way. Being that I still act within the laws and I don't hurt people, I'd say I'm not taking this notion too seriously, but it's still something that lingers in my mind.

I used to think about similar things as a kid but I'm much less detached as an adult. With so many adult responsibilities to engage with I haven't got time to think about anything that's not right in front of me.

If it is fleeting thoughts that don't mean anything then who cares but if you actively believe this shit and have no feelings then ya it might be kinda serious.
>>
>>17588011
I'm able to believe it more when I've been alone for a few days or if I'm just somewhere doing something, like going to work, being summoned for jury duty, where I'm pretty much on auto pilot.

He might discover our secret, oh shit.
>>
>>17588018

And I assume the therapist idea is a no no for you? Look dude we all have crazy thoughts in our head that we don't act upon. Like what would happen if I suddenly steer my car into traffic, how many bodies can I take with me. Shit like that is fleeting and nothing more.

I shouldn't worry about this and just go on living like you do right now.
>>
>>17588025
Never been to a therapist. Don't really ever plan on it. I can succinctly, to my own standards, express what's in my head easier through written word. With a therapist, there's that added anxiety of being there, speaking to a stranger, and all that jazz.

Anyway, I didn't make this thread as a cry for help or anything. I'm simply curious if others can maybe relate at all to what I initially said, and what the reason is for coming to that conclusion.
>>
>>17588035

No we don't have god complexes and think the world was created by us. Sorry to disappointment :/
>>
>>17588039
That's not even what I was saying. A god complex has to do with feeling like you're better than everyone. Even if I did believe 100% fully that I created the universe in my mind, it wouldn't mean I'm better. Low self esteem is more like it for me.
>>
>>17588047
In fact, I feel like I'm weaker and lesser than everyone, because they're all on some sort of auto pilot mode, and they don't have to, in order to function, overthink everything. If I could just somehow peer into people's minds, if I could somehow know I'm not the only one, I want to.
>>
>>17587973
It just sounds like you aren't very socialised, like you are the kid who didn't talk to anyone at school, thought he was smarter than everyone else, but never asked for help and fell behind a lot.
Try seeing a therapist if you really struggle, but for the most part your problem is that you don't talk to anyone in person and you are trying to make the world fit your views, rather than base your views on what you actually see in the world.
>>
>>17588062
Accurate. I wasn't one of these kids going around thinking I was smarter though. I maybe thought that sometimes, but really I felt stupid most of the time. I may have lied to myself in so far as thinking I was smarter, but yeah, mostly felt stupid.

Really, this is just something leftover from my childhood and adolescence, that I just don't know how to shake.
>>
>>17588062
I do talk to people, but what seems to happen is: they bore me to tears, I can't find anything I would want to say to them, not a foothold, nothing I can grab on, to start talking to them about, or they're just far beyond what I could understand.
>>
>>17587973
Honestly seems to me you are incapable of forming your own thoughts about things in general
or rather your incapable of being truly self aware
You are aware of the people around you leading you to realize they are not you.
But your low level of self-awareness means you are prone to believing you are not like them, because you don't notice your own actions thoughts and feelings

more like your borrowing them from whatever you're reading or interacting with

You've never had any big events in your life have you?

Nothing serious enough to have you look back at every decision you've ever made.

Nothing that forced you to look at yourself

This is why I say you have a low level of self awareness instead of zero

enough to know you are not other people

but not enough to know why
>>
>>17587973
I feel like nobody gets your point. I relate to you, in the end you are in your own mind and are the sole point of consciousness for yourself. And yes it is called solipsism but check also out biocentrism by lanza. Its not as weird as those cunts here make it out to be.
