Life is all rainbows, puppies, flowers and fireworks. Haven't you realised that yet?

You are acknowledging the existence of "others" by describing people as non-solipsists

Even you describing people as non-solipsists shows that you exist, and I exist. Why don't you go into a pride of lions with a bag over your head, and try and prove that your experience is all there is. You will get eaten

Oh it worked this time 😐

@Salvijus yeah natasha would get it. 😝😝😝

@Thought Art How does one remove an "@user" icon from a reply. Because this reply was not intended to be at you, but I couldn't work out how to delete the "@user" icon

@Thought Art why socialise when I can fake socialise here? 😉

@Hojo This whole topic is such a mind fuck. Oh well, Put the kettle on? Nice cuppa tea solves everything 😉

@Hojo how are YOU coping with it?

@Hojo you're not alone! Us deep thinkers find it hard to make friends.

I think the scary thing about belief in solipsism is the Aloneness that comes with it. Nice to actually have this discussion and hear others points of view, because I feel slightly less alone now.

Why don't people just agree with me. Life would be so much easier 😉

@Hojo just don't try to take away people's sovereignty. I understand the concept of oneness actually, and have had my own awakenings. But I still hold value in the fact that I have my own mind. Your view of solipsism is one that refuses to accept the separate nature of individual minds. Even though we may all be One, separateness is a part of this Oneness.

@Natasha Tori Maru Thankyou! Thank....you. (Not me) 🙂

Thanks to the people who are sticking up for me. Hojo, I'm sure you weren't intentionally trying to mess with me, but it's a form of gaslighting when you try to convince someone of your own beliefs, and don't respect the fact that they have their own free will, and yes, their own mind as well.

@Thought Art I don't care about being mature. If someone is trying to fuck with my mind, then I'm gonna defend myself. I have experienced psychosis, and I know what beliefs led to this mental breakdown. It was partly a belief in solipsism. Even a successful psychiatrist tried to make me believe that I was the cause of all the world's problems. I'm not gonna let my mind be fucked with again.

Before any moderator jumps down my th That's exactly what I'm saying. It can't be proven or disproven, but Hojo is one of these people who thinks they know everything and is trying to warp my mind.

@Hojo you're fucking delusional. Stop trying to project your beliefs onto other people

@Hojo what do you mean?

@Hojo With everything you are saying, I can clearly see that you have your own separate mind, which thinks completely differently to mine. I'm just glad I am in my mind and not in yours.

@Hojo look, if you want to be delusional, then I'm not stopping you. You have free will, so you can choose to believe in solipsism if you like. It's a matter of belief. I choose to believe that other minds DO exist, even though I can't prove it in the here and now.

@Hojo no it didn't, it happened in their mind. Try standing in front of a mirror with another person. You can clearly see that you are a separate entity from this other individual, and see clearly that you have a head, with your mind contained in it, and they also have a separate head, with their mind contained in their head. It's so obvious. Solipsism in the absolute sense is complete delusion. Hahaha

I'm sorry, but solipsism is not "absolutely" true, it is only relatively true. Yes, I get that the only thing "I" can experience is my own mind, but to believe that other people don't exist is foolish. What about when you ask someone about their day and they start describing it to you. Do you really believe they didn't have that experience?

Solipsism is basically selfishness/narcissism dressed up as spirituality.

If they express different thoughts to your own, then can't you see that they have their own separate experience from yours?
