Is it normal to think that you're the only real person?

Is it normal to think that you're actually the only real person alive, and that everything else in the world was programmed, and isn't really real, but some kind of simulation?

Is It Normal?

  • Dude! I have this same feeling all the time. Like the world is all my own, and everyone else is simply a cyborg sent to bug me.

  • I don't believe this, but I have thought before that maybe I'm the only real person and everyone else is just placed here by God to test me or support my life. Yeaah it is normal!

      • You have the wrong movie, the one where he goes to Mars is with Danny Devito, I think it was called "Children born at the same time to the same mother" or something like that. Anyway Jamie Lee Curtis is he wife and he has to spy on the martians. Then he gets this big ice gun and fights george clooney, who was transformed by kryptonite into a giant bat,because he married maria shriver and then killed everyone when he became the governator of minnesota but everyone kept mistaking him for a pro wrestler so he had to have sex with a housekeeper to prove it wasnt true. It was a great movie.

  • Yep. All these usernames you see are just computer programs. Congratulations, you figured it out! I'm just a preprogrammed answer in the mother of all computers that you created (since nobody else could 'cause they don't exist). One day you'll wake up from this creative dream of yours and wonder why you dreamt up all these people when you're the only real one. Simulation shut down... Wake up now!

    :p Seriously though, normal.

  • There are whole branches of philosophy devoted to this. Google "solipsism" and you'll find all kinds of forays into this school of thought.

    • Oh! Such a memory this brought. I've written something about 'my solipsistic heart' years ago... I hardly even remembered I'd written anything one day.

      • In a weird piece of synchronicity, I also wrote a poem about my solipsistic heart. It was a doubt-filled paean about the existence of my spleen, pancreas and brain. It was particularly scathing about brain. Oh, such sweet self-loathing!
