It's funny you said that because when I first saw that movie when I was younger, those thoughts went through my head a lot. Then I just realized who the hell would want to watch my boring life 24/7.

There actually is. I've read about it somewhere it is a common delusion. It's right up there with people thinking they are Jesus and people thinking they are being stalked by some sinister agency.

"Truman Syndrome is a form of psychological delusion in which the patient believes that he or she is trapped inside in a reality television show, or that people are monitoring his or her every move. The name for this syndrome is a reference to The Truman Show, a 1998 film which revolved around a character who was living his entire life on camera without being aware of it. To those of sound mind, Truman Syndrome might sound a bit ludicrous, but not dangerous, although this is not, in fact, the case: this condition can actually be very dangerous for the people who suffer from it."
It's a real diagnosed mental disorder

I used to think that when I was a kid. I actually felt like there was a movie theatre in my head, and a there were about a dozen people watching my life at all times. It wasn't a fun pretend game. There were three teenagers in the back row who were always making fun of me, and the adults in the audience always just watched and felt sorry for me when I told jokes that nobody liked. I remember telling them once, "Just leave me alone and go back home. I know the show is going to get good in a couple of weeks, when my family goes on vacation in Florida, but please, just leave me alone."
Then one day they did.

It's totally not spice.
I also used to get aggrevated because I couldn't quit thinking about how things would look if they left a smudge on space everywhere they'd been.
If a man rode by on a bike, I would have no choice but to imagine him creating a big streak up the road, all black on the bottom from the rubber on the tires.

Some other weird shit that used to bug me:
I remember trying to wrap my head around what it meant to be me. This was more intense than any thought loop from any psychedelic. I would just say my name over and over and it felt like a wave of awe would sweep me over as I began to panic about it. I would think, "why am I trapped here like this? What am I? Why can't I make it stop? I am Swyfty and I can't make it stop! Why can't I just close my eyes and make it all go away?"
I would always bug my parents to no end about Heaven too. They said it just goes on forever and that gave my little identity crisis more fuel for the fire. I would think, "it never stops. One day, then another day, then another forever, and ever, and ever."
I had imaginary friends too. Wendy was a little girl who aggrevated me all the time by not listening to me and riding her tricycle on the ceiling and watching me take baths with an icy stare on her face. Chochy was my best friend. He looked a lot like me, except he was half-clear, like a ghost. So was Wendy. I cried all afternoon when my brother told me that he and his friend had taken Chochy to the Tennessee River and drowned him. We then took Wendy to a well and drowned her too, but I was OK with that. I couldn't quit crying about Chochy though.
I was always scared to get out of the bath. I thought my family might have turned into lizards, and my life would instantly become a terror if one night my fears became reality, and my lizard family had taken off their skin to finally reveal themselves to me, in their true form, while they ate popcorn in their robes and pajamas, and my life was all a lie.

It's a cold day in Hell because someone makes me feel somewhat normal..
On the other hand, that's awesome, except for all of the fear...
When I get my Truman delusions the sky seems smaller. I feel like I'm in a snow globe. Sometimes I wonder if what I type here is part of it. It's odd to sit in a classroom and think, "Hmm. People are getting paid to do this. That one person never talks. Is she the director? She's always hiding behind the laptop."
I've wondered the same things about my fiancee, but for some reason it seems too true. Then I wonder if it's a setup and we've both been tricked.
I really don't mind. I'm not swallowing the idea it's a delusion because that's what I'm "supposed to think" to make me "not crazy" and "fix it". Whatever.

The world does feel like a snow globe... I hate that.. But I dnt so much feel so much as being watched.. U guys kinda sound like meth addicts trapped in the psychosis stage lol but I feel like I'm trapped in one giant nightmare that's never gonna end...
N now that I think about it, being a kid was exactly like a psychadelic trip.. Kinda weird.. Maybe that's really how the spiritual world is because when we were kids, we were just getting out of the spirit world to begin to experience the physical world. N psychadelics are just reminders of what the spiritual world is again. Idk, I'm rambling...

I hate when people say, "Man, I wish I could see shit all the time like I was tripping."
No, no you don't.
When you feel like your arms have fallen off, or the road beneath you drops twenty stories and the only thing you can see are the lines in the road, when your chest hurts and you feel a red emblazoned "blip" mark like an EKG across your chest..
This shit sucks. It's terrible.
I'm still trying to find the point in which I became an adult and my childhood memories were put in my head. Only in this last year have they come back. They don't even seem real. I remember some sensory (tactile mostly) attributes but that's it.
I really hate to say it, but I definitely subscribe to this, whatever it is, it's not real (life, the "delusion" is just realization).
I don't think it's a TV show, I don't think it's a cosmic joke, but it's certainly not "real life". Something's wrong, and has been before I even touched drugs. Hell, I don't even do any now.
