people do not exist
    #14583024 - 06/09/11 12:53 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

I used to believe in people my family, friends, people you read about in books, and even internet people.  I hate to admit the fact that everyone i ever knew even my parents were really computer generated animations existing only as information.    how do i get out of this video game?  i am always looking at a monitor while i listen to a radiostation that i used to believe was me thinking.

my friend once said to me

"i am a solipsist...
and i don't understand why everyone else isn't"

you make your reality but the people in your life are very real
and you should never forget your connection to mankind

I'm not sure if this question relates to psychedelics, but if not, this thread should probably be in the Philosophy, Sociology, and Psychology section.

Anyhow, welcome to the Shroomery.  I know somebody who might be a solipsist.  It definitely sounds like a frightening thought to have.  Of course, plenty believe the world is what you make of it.  If you think about it, whether it's real or not makes little difference.  You're still going to have to deal with the consequences or get to reap the rewards of your actions.  On my last experience with mushrooms, I had the terrifying feeling not unlike your own that life was sort of like a movie, and I wondered what would happen once life ended.  I was thinking about how when a movie ends, you go back to living your life, but what would you go to once life ended?  Of course, that's more of an afterlife question, but I can sort of relate to the feeling that life was irrelevant.  It was one of the worst feelings of my life, so I really do feel for you.

Do these feelings relate to your drug use?  Do you think psychedelics could be contributing?  Perhaps a break would help at least confirm that they aren't causing it.

I've been there, Microchip.  One time I realized that everyone is just a reflection of my personality interacting with me.  That fat Chinese girl, the black ghetto kid, and even my dog are all aspects of my infinite personality being projected back on myself.  When the realization hits you, its compelling and un-fucking-deniable.  I am Elvis, Einstein, a porn star, all of it!  Quite an ego-inflating experience.  Yours doesn't seem as much fun as mine though.  Anyway, both are an interesting brand of special bullshit and its always exciting to taste it.

I totally lived this experience many times, even without the use (or before) of psychedelics. Like, how do I know you're real? Maybe you're just put here for me to say Hi to or something.

OP does not have mental illness. Just because someone percieves life in a new way does not mean they are ill. Life is a dream - a complete subjection, my reality could be a million times different than yours.

Now, to the OP, I don't know if you are just having a trip post or actually believe and are bothered by this in sober life, but let me tell you, you are not the only one to have felt this. Sometimes life itself becomes a confusion, an unreality of sorts, when you realize the immensity and and just how miniscule it is. What is this? What are we even? To feel this is not a mental illness, if anything it is a sort of heightened state where you rise beyond the physical realm and see things in a broader sense. This, however, can be distorting.

I have delt with my own life thoughts, and have realized that you can try to understand life in any way possible, but ultimately, there is nothing to understand, and no divine secret you can just pick up.

Life is here, it's beautiful, and it's a complete mystery. So just be happy you're a part of it and enjoy the game while you can!

LOVE IT! IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT!

You will come to peace and understanding soon enough.

No, he is having some truly deep thoughts of solipsism. It's a difficult feeling sometimes. A personal hell of sorts!

Not a mental illness by any means. And joe's thought is nothing that sounds mentally unstable. Maybe on the surface, but in this thread where we're talking specifically about solipsism, it fits.

Of course this is a miracle of grand proportion we couldn't start to make out. But what OP is going through is similar to an awakening of sorts. It's hard to explain, because in a sense I understand what he's going through, but then I don't.

I went through a similar phase, and am still effected by it to an extent, of being completely amazed with what was the complete conundrum and mystery of existence. If you really get into it, it can be scary and confusing. There is so much more than people know, and at once you may realize the minisculity of what is supposedly you. It is a dissociation of sorts, not an illness at all, but a sort of existential anxiety/ dissocation type feeling that crosses the mind.

OP need to ride it out and come to terms with the meaning of life, as he will. Life is not a game, but who is to say that anyway? However you go in your journies, you must remember that you are here, which means you do exist, and more importantly, those around you are most certainly alive and feeling. THEY ARE NOT AT YOUR DISPOSAL.

I personally find this debate hilarious, of course everything exists on a level but then one day you may realize that level to be less real than lets say a new reality youve now discovered under the influence of a hallucinogenic. Honestly as far as im concerned OP you have no place in trying to fight the reality of multiple realities. Just flow with it man.
