Thanatos just gets off on trolling, it’s an act.
I know, take one to know one...
Albeit, Im only half troll (fathers side of the fam). I try and keep my baser instincts in check on here, but sometimes I lose.

I recognize that now though. I have a habit of giving away my power and feeling helpless, always waiting on someone to save me or help me and if they can’t then I suffer. I realize now that I have to do it, that at some point I have to make a choice and that choice won’t always be certain.
I mean I don’t know if I am going to be alive tomorrow or the week after that but I don’t live in fear of leaving my house and wondering if something will happen. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. It’s just funny that I crave certainty in life when so much of it isn’t so.
This one is likely no different, I even heard it mentioned that philosophy doesn’t deal with certainty and that nothing can be known with total certainty. Even if I did “escape” this reality it would only prove that this reality was fake. I wouldn’t know if the next one is “real”, it’s turtles all the way down.
I guess I’m scared to take a chance on something this big and I worry that maybe I’ll never get over this and that it will follow me all my life, as one of life’s unanswerable questions. But I guess at some point I need to make a choice though.

My biggest obstacle though at the moment is the fear that there might be evidence in the future that proves it.

Though now that I think about it, how can you know that mind is all there is if everything is a projection of your mind? You can't know that mind is all there is because everything would be a projection of it which you cannot validate is the only mind in existence. You assume it but you cannot validate that assumption.
Huh....I guess it's nothing more than pure belief then.

I’m serious though, the more I think about it the sillier solipsism seems

They don't whinge and troll people emotionally and cling to shitty liferafts they've constructed which leave them floating in a sea of nihilism.
They suck it up, accept that life doesn't come with answers or an instruction manual, and try to do their best and be kind to others.
Bravery comes when people stare into the terrifying mist of existential dread, and instead of retreating, push forward.
You seem to have been wallowing in fear, dread and terror for five years now, and it's really getting old.
There is no technique or manual to bravery either; you just stop talking, and do it.

Do or do not, there is no trying. I mean there is, but it essentially counts for very little.

Between the samadhi of nothingness and nihilism, there is an open field, and I will meet you there.

It is getting old, I’m tired of it. I lament all the opportunities that pass me by just because I was scared. I mean rejection hurts but at least it’s an answer. Wallowing in maybe hurts more.
This hurts because there is no definite answer and no way to get one. There’s no way to prove it because of it’s tenets. But you can’t disprove it. I want to be kind to others but I’m sometimes held back by the possibility they might now exist.
I browsed answers on here: https://www.quora.com/What-if-solipsism-is-true
But I get mixed replies in the end. Some say it’s true and some not.

Looking to possible figments of your imagination for answers about if they are actually figments of your imagination is the vetry definition of retarded, IMO.
