Is it normal to wonder if other people really exist?

I don't think people are just actors like some people do, but I sometimes wonder if I'm just in a dream or a computer game or something. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm actually scizophrenic and will wake up one day and realize i've just been imagining everything :P
I even think sometimes that if I died it wouldn't matter cuz no one is real anyway..
It's just weird how you only know YOU exist you know?? Everything is so weird and crazy, it freaks me out :P

    I was just like that a few years ago, I've accepted that since so many people are out there just like me, and we share almost the same beliefs, it can't be just me that's real. :)

    Think about it this way:

    Does history really excist..
    Or I just project it in my mind too.

    Mind ?

    Time excist ?

    May be i'm not alone.. may be we are all one.

    Makes sense to me. I think everyone has wondered that at some time.

  • I think I feel the same way. I just think everyone else is a robot with random personilaties and im the only human....

    I feel like this too. I even put a post up, asking if it's normal to feel as though you aren't experiencing reality

    that's what happens when you are stuck in front of a computer screen all day.

    That's EXACTLY what I was thinking 20 minutes ago, the part about dreaming your whole life

    Maybe all of our thoughts and actions r fed or run by machines or other people. We might all be laying In a glass coffin bei ng fed by tubes. Maybe whenever we have a deja vu it's our alternate life controller experiencing the same thing and just rewinding our memory to the same point as before. Don't let ur head explode. Wake up Neo!!!

    Geeze if everyone else is not real than my imagination must suck!!!! I would hope that I would imagine doing something better than going to work 5 days a week and then coming home and working more!!! I remember thinking like this once but then I realized nope this is all real life..good luck with your quest

    I think that sometimes. Like maybe I'm really a scizophrenic and I'm just too crazy to figure it out or that my life and everything I do in it is a dream that I can't snap out of.

    I agree, I keep thinking that I am a guy in a video game and everyone is a npc or it's just a dream and I will soon wake up.

    WATCH the documentary 'What the bleep do we know' - its all quantum mechanics and philosophy - you'll love it. Its got views fom the top thinkers, and if you dont go a bit crazy trying to understand it THEN your not normal ;-) Seriously, if you love the matrix, you'll love this documentary. You should be able to downlaod it off the internet somwhere. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!! oh and I'm not an actor or an imaginary person - I think therefore I am too ;-)

    Also I think that the other people are trying to trick me into believing they are real like that movie "the Trueman show"

    I feel exactly the same thing, since 1999 but in 2005 i watched the matrix and that really freaked me out

    i always wonder weird things like that too! i wonder what if my entire life is just a dream that someone else is having, and soon they're gonna wake up and everything will just stop. nothing and no one will exist anymore....

    or how we can never see ourselves in person, only in a reflection or in a photograph or film.

    Have you ever heard "I think therefore I am"... Your so right...it's kinda some freaky matrix shit but how can you really know? You can't...feelings can be simulated, implanted...who knows wats real in this so called world

  • Lovie... That sounds cool and all but im sticking to reality. Its seems much more likely that we r all just here than being a bubble in space.

  • Lol lovie well that's something I've never thought of before

    I think about this all the time! I thought I was the only one! I feel like we might not even be physically here, it might just be in our heads. We might not even be "alive" and its true. Who knows, maybe the ones answering this aren't real and you are or maybe I am but you're not.

    I have an idea. We might just be energy and what we see and feel is just part of our energy or something. We might just be bubbles floating in space and this is our imagined life/world.

    When I was a little kid, I use to sometimes have some kind of 'out of body' experience where I sort of looked around at everyone and thought that perhaps they were all robots or holographic images or something. I use to think: 'I can't believe my mom's my mom, I can't believe my friends my friend...what if all this wasn't real? I don't know...I use to have a weird imagination for a kid.
