Nothing is real?

  1. do you ever feel like the world is fake like in the truman show?

    the reason i ask is because every time i learn something new (like a word), within just a few days i see it used for the first time in a non-educational setting in a completely different place. not just that, but sometimes it seems like things happen specifically for me, like the people on TV are talking to specifically me. also, sometimes when i have weird thoughts, i notice that people look at me. does anyone else think this is how it is?

    does anyone else think that everything in the world is specifically engineered for you and you are the only person who isnt in on it? as if you were the main character in an RPG?
     

  2. WOW I can not believe someone else has thought of this. I have always thought of this theory even when I was pretty young. Isnt it kind of creepy/wierd to think about?

    I thought I was the only one.
     
  3. No lie, I first thought of this theory in first grade. I stopped thinking it when I got turned down by a girl in middle school.

    She would love me if I was the main character. They all do.
     
  4. Everyone thinks this.
     
  5. Not for the sake of plot development
     
  6. Everything is permanent.
     
  7. You hear thousands of words all of the time that you don't know, but since you don't necessarily know the meaning of them your brain don't process it in the same way as a known word. So as soon as you learn a word, you will start to recognize it in everyday settings that you wouldn't have before. It happens to everyone.

    There's a name for this law like Murphy's Law but I forgot what it is.

    There are millions of bits of information on the tv. Of course through probability every now and then something is going to seem like it was just for you. Just last night i was craving for some Taco Bell than their commercial came just as I was thinking of it.

    It's just how things are.
     
  8. You know too much. Flee your home before they come for you!!

    Everyone thinks it dude. But it's really only true for me. (Now I know too much??)
     
  9. Yep, we all have this thought.

    Or... Im part of the system and Im contributing to the illusion of individuality. And we have always

  10. ^^ Hahaha funny shit man.

    Thought this before, also have noticed the learning a new word thing (where it's used everywhere right after you learn it.)
     
  11. YES i have wondered many many times if life was really like the truman show... everyone always tries to convince me its not but thats because theyre in on it and cant give out the secret and want to make me unsuspicious...... :eek:
     
  12. when your schizophrenic you're never alone :D
     

  13. I would think the law you are thinking of is Occam's Razor ? It is basically a law that says the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

    Anyways, yea i've had this feeling quite often, but nothing that concerns me really. If its really bothering you, go see a doctor - could be signs of schizophrenia or depersonalization disorder
     
  14. Nothing to get hung about..
     
  15. A few years ago a friend and myself were discussing this situation of how we felt our
    entire lives felt like it was flowing like a movie, and of course, The Truman Show had
    been made years prior. Some people already had this feeling before the movie was
    made, but now a lot of people are batshit crazy over it. Look up Truman Syndrome.
     
  16. Haha i have thought the exact thing before!
     
  17. i told my parents when i was a little kid. They laughed and said shut up. Now, i can agree with this happening to me but how do i know youre all apart of them? Shit how do i know youre all not robots or something collecting data and making notes to some highEr figure??

    That wiki page was probably made to make me not think this.. Well nice one. Not ganna work! Screw all of youu
     

  18. i remember an exact moment when i had this realization as a real young kid. I kept telling my mom i "feel different," and would do my best to explain to her how, all of a sudden, it felt like my life was put on autopilot... thats the best way i can explain it. I remember the exact moment it started happening and i tried telling my mom about 10-15 times over that year, but she thought i was just a crazy lil kid. to this day, the feeling has never left me, and i mean one day i woke up and everything felt completely different... i can't remember what it was like before this... i mean i have my memories from before this, just dont know what life "felt" like then as opposed to now/since that event when shit changed
