at random times i get really deep into my thoughts and think that i am not real. i watched a video about how atoms act differently when they're being watched ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc ) and since humans and everything else is made up of atoms, what if everything is only there when i look at it? same goes for the thought "i think, therefor i am". i don't know for a fact that other people think, only myself, so what if i am the only real thing in existence? maybe my own god, making up everything around me for entertainment? i don't actually believe any of this because i don't believe in anything/nothing, but it really gets me thinking.

    One time I truly convinced myself that other people weren't real and this was all a set-up, like a computer game, just for me. Yes, that sounds very egotistical, (and stupid). I was on dxm, so that's my excuse.

    But I was truly convinced, it went beyond just imagining the possibility...and it was a very strange feeling. But the world didn't end like I thought it would.
    And at the end of the day, you'll probably never be able to get an answer as to whether a tree actually makes a noise (or exists at all) if you're not there to witness it falling. But if it's just a fun thing to think about and imagine, that's ok.

    You have a brain that regulates the body. You have a mind that makes you human. We are mostly empty space. The onle reason you can lift something is because the electrons repel each other. If not you could walk through walls and sit in a chair. So it is your mind makes you a real person. Without atoms with electrons you could not type your ? with a mind you could not think of it. So you are real. Like it or not.

    Anything's possible! Enjoy life and don't overthink it.

    I can tell by reading this post that you and I both exist.
