Does anybody know any theories about things simply not existing to benefit our emotions.. for example;
Break up with gf - Does it REALLY matter? Does she actually exist outside of the realm of my thoughts etc
Someone dies - Were they ever alive to begin with? We only miss people because we are selfish and miss the way they made us feel rather than what they actually contributed to society..
Can't think of anymore at the moment but you get the idea. An intense way of thinking that takes over the mind and makes you numb, dismissive of negative emotions/pain.
I know nihilism focuses on pessimism and that nothing really matters, but thats still accepting whats right in front of you and will still allow it to effect you.

I often wonder whether or not I exist outside of someone else's thoughts. Am I just the figment of someone's imagination?

Genuinely why though? You cannot fathom what OP is trying to say? You dont want to push your limits and find consistent peace in your mind? Or share alternative ideas how to?

Aren't these the proverbial "spooks" we all clamour about? I haven't read stormer , but this sounds like having desire not grounded in reality are the core issue .

There's nothing radical or challenging about convincing yourself that nothing is real because your mom died

Sufism, Buddhism, Ouspensky/Gurdjieff's systems (Ouspensky in his exegesis of Gurdjieff's system lays particular emphasis on the uselessness of negative emotions)
