Everything is fake. Everyone but me is just following a script. Every fact presented on TV or in textbooks is cleverly chosen to manipulate me. Everything that really exists, exists for this purpose. Nothing is real, it's all made for this. You know everything about my psyche, so you all know exactly how I'll act in any situation. That's the script. Everything I do, you already know about and set up ahead of time. Everyone sets up and acts in these situations, all precisely crafted to make me react in a certain way. If I don't know about something, it doesn't even exist, because then it wouldn't be part of your plans.

The other day, I tried beating the truth out of a woman, to make her confess it was all fake. That's when I remembered something, one of the most basic things about you that I've known for a long time, you're different from me. I must be like a different species, crafted for this purpose with advanced technology that you in the "real world" know about but I don't because me knowing about it isn't part of your precisely crafted world you immerse me in. But you knew I would be guessing about it now, because you know everything about my mind and predict exactly what it does. One of the differences between me and you is that you don't feel pain, or anything because you don't need to. For her, my punches may as well have been a gentle massage. She's a good actor though. The way she screamed, I almost could have believed it. I can't win. You know this, you designed it this way.

You know that I'll be posting this, you know everything I do and will do. You will be giving your pre-written comments, all crafted precisely to have a certain effect on me, however subtle. You know exactly how every letter will impact me. You knew I would wonder about it all, you knew I would be writing this at this very moment. What's the point?

I could go on with so much more, but there's no point, you know it all already. You know more than I do. You know I won't do anything about it because you precisely crafted the world to make me always fear getting closer to the truth. Watching me now. They've planned all of it.

    I happen to be a writer on your "life" script and I'll let you in on the next scene we've cleverly composed for you and only you.

    Its a mental institution. Enjoy.

    You need help! I'm not saying this out of ignorance, I'm saying this because I had the same problem and I got help!

    People act differently from their real self all the time, but they do that because they're unsure or just plain jerks. Thing is, they don't do it for you. Humans are a selfish race, 'though luckily there are lots of people who want to care for people as well. And surely there are people that want you to react as they want you to, but again, that's because it's easier for themselves, not so you would make a more interesting television series.

    Every time I think of that film I start wondering if everything is all just fake and it has been the whole time. That was over 10 years ago and I still haven't got the idea out of my head :|

    You'd be surprised as to how many people think like this.

    Most don't dwell on it for so long, though.

    I think everyone thinks this at at least one point in his/her life.. It makes living hard to do. But trust me, the world does not revolve around you, I found out the hard way.

    It's much easier to ignore such types of thinking. Convince yourself that it isn't so; it can be done over time.

    To think that way sucked for me and I pretty much fixed it. Took years of undoing and I still get flashes once in a while but I ignore them and they go away.

    I though the same thing as a kid, you'll grow out if it. It's like everyone was put on earth as actors or obstacles in your life. Weird I know, bit I grew out if that in my early teens,
