I Have Done Things I Am Not Proud of

I once convinced a stranger on a train that I was a figment of his imagination. He had had a couple of drinks and sat down opposite me and started telling me his life story which was fine as I like listening to other people. He basically had to make a big decision about the direction of his life so I listened and told him what I thought and he came to a decision a couple of minutes before my stop. He thanked me for my advice, said it was really helpful and that he felt better about his choice. That's when I told him I wasn't real, that he has conjured me up from his subconscious so that he has someone to talk his problem through with and see all sides. He didn't believe me of course at first but then I asked him if anyone had spoken to me since he sat down next to me, asked for my ticket etc and he said no and then he actually started to believe it. I asked him if I looked familiar to him and he said that I looked like a combination of a few people he has known in the past and so I told him that's how his subconscious created me. By the time I got off the train he was convinced I was a figment of his imagination. I feel a bit bad about it sometimes but then I remember that he made the decision about his life and that it is better that he thinks he came to that decision himself, but then I feel bad again in case that's not the case...

You must be a spectacular talker to do that in such a short period. You looked him in the eyes and convinced him that reality was warped. He will be questioning his mind forever.

I don't think it really hurt anyone. If anything, you made him believe in himself. Nevertheless it's a very amusing story. 😂

That's actually pretty awesome. You helped someone and played a little prank. No harm done.
we reach out however we can

and a bit of mirth or mischief is not so bad eh?
