i when i was younger i wonderd about if i was the only one on earth and everyone else didnt actually have a soul (like robots for example), and nothing existed unless i saw it (like if i never went to another country it didnt exist) and the world was created as i over looked it. like the only people that ever exist is the ones around me.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE f**k IM TALKING ABOUT??? OR AM I CRAZY
Do you think it's normal?

i dont have tits im a guy......and why would that matter anyways?!?!
its really hard to explain...its like if you dont have a soul you dont have any feelings whatsoever but you still express them physically, but mentally they are not there. there is no way of telling that some one else has a soul or not, unless you are them...you have to get inside thir head and see and think and feel what they are feeling and thinking and seeing
sounds like a clasic case of paranoia to me!
there are no example and nothing really occurs at all.its just a state of mind and how some people try to figure the world out
You should be a writer. They create and destroy their own worlds full of soul-less people every day with the click of a few keys.

Kinda reminds me of................
lmao
Yeah, normal. I've thought about this many times before, and came to the following conclusion. If your mind is the only thing that exists, and everything else is a manifestation of your mind, there would be no way to prove or disprove this theory. Therefore, it could be a very valid theory, or a completely ridiculous theory. Nobody could tell you for sure.
@: Fred
Thats almost exactly like the Matrix
when i was younger i used to think everyone was just a dream and when we went to sleep the person dreaming us would wake up
YES TO BOTH QUESTIONS.
its called solipsism i think. means you think you're the only real person, which when you think about it cant be disproved cos you'll never have any other body or life than your own. But i think the fact that other people experience solipsism, before you even know about it, proves that you are not the only real person
OMFG!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I always had that suspision in the back of my mind and though I was the only one. I sometimes think that I am some sort of experiment and everyone I knew or loved was not living or had no soul. Thanks so much for posting this, I feel a lot more normal now.
you're not crazy. i still think that. haha,
naw, for real though, i used to think exactly that when i was younger. still not sure about it. i mean, how would you know?
i did when iwas younger but not any more but mine was like there was one person who was everyone
not crazy its just emotional detachment
That's weird. Because I occasionally wonder the same thing.
If everything is just an allabarate hoax on me or something.
it's so creepy that i read a book exactly like what you are saying except she came to a conclusion that everyone did have souls.
i used to think that if i dug a whole on the ground i would dig right into hell

its just an episode of life im sure
you need to stop watching too many fiction movies
or put the crack pipe down
honestly man i had teh same thing. 2 me crazy is just seeing teh world differently. So technicaly were all nust here. But i mean the whole world is just a bunch of electrical signals ur brain reads as it will so seriously u might b right who knows lol
yea normal i used to think that all the time when i was younger. but now i just dont care anymore.
Well when I was younger I thought life was nothing but a tryout :P but yea I get what you mean. You are normal.
there's a whole branch of philosophy kinda like that
its called 'solipsism'
basically
the only thing you can really know is that you exist. Everything else could be your mind playing tricks on you.
I've had the same feeling. I've even gone so far as to face watch. Try that sometimes... You'd be amazed how many people look alike. When I watched The Matrix, I nearly had a stroke... Suddenly I got all paranoid that maybe it was right, and the reason everyone looks alike is because they ran out of space and had to start recycling faces...

But in reality, I'm sure it's just some little part of our psyche that wants us to be singularly special. O.o

The other one I've had was wondering if one of those close calls I had at some point really wasn't a close call after all and I'm really in a comma and dreaming this life. It's actually not all that uncommon.
well thats your reality, that you think no one else has a soul besides you. Maybe to them you're the one who doesn't have a soul. We're all different and reality and life if always changing and differs from person to person.
yep, that is completely normal. actually that's a very interesting view to have on everything as sanity is in the mind. what i'm trying to say is that everything is in relation to everything else, that there isn't really such a thing as being completely sane.
DUDEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's exactly how the Creation works
you are right on!!!!
i mean it's more complicated than this
but what you said is the main concept

awesome!
yea, or how bout that movie The Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Everyone around him was an actor and his every action was taped with hidden cameras and the rest of the world watched him on tv without him knowing that his whole life was a show
i mean
everything in the Creation is conscious and alive
but you do create your own reality as you walk through time
THE MOVEMENT OF FORM THROUGH TIME
(ponder this thought my brother)

the stronger your will
the more amazing your creative powers will be

;)
Yea plus i smoke alotta weed & that helps me become more creative
the THC compound is a great tool
i assume you know how to use it
the creative powers lie within you
what the plant does is shut down certain mechanisms
so your focus is less stressed on the tridimensional reality
but always remember
the creative powers lie within you
even a great tool like the THC compound can easily be misused
i just smoke when im bored & it makes played out videogames fun again. give me some examples of how to use it to my advantage other than entertainment
sounds like ,you are addicted to the movie MAtrix,
Dont worry its normal.;)
Yes. You are crazy. So is everybody else. You are encountering your limitations. You can't see or sense what's going on inside others. Hopefully you're not trying to drag it out of them either. That would be abnormal as well as counter productive. I think this is an existential angst some of us go through from time to time. In many cultures, one's position in life is seen as tantamount to survival and gets first place in consciousness. So people are not likely to bare their souls. Their "soul" is safely tucked away under layers of responsibility as worker, parent, spouse, student, group member, etc.
Trippy shit. I can relate
