Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you?

If everyone else is a projection of your consciousness, you should get tech services to work on your projector.

Like many philosophical questions, this one's always interesting - in theory.

Even if the population is your projection, the people in your movie still have the power to act on you. Their actions affect you, even if that too is created by your mind.

So, in the end, the question doesn't much matter.

because there are people out there having experiences totally apart from you--you could stop someone at the mall tomorrow and ask what they did two days ago and you had nothing to do with it...but yes, we all see the world through our own distinctive perspectives

I'm having a similar issue. But I think in the end it's a matter of perception and it doesn't really matter!
Your story is in your head, my story is in my head, do we share the same head? Maybe, so what?
I can strongly see how my beliefs are affecting my reality. We're that creative and powerful.. Sometimes I recognise that power outside of myself, in another.
An example, there's another person we're waiting to get a bus together. They're unhappy with the idea of taking the bus so it never arrives. While I love the bus and I know that if I were by myself, I'd have taken it.

I think our perceptions are all a little bit different and so is our realities which makes us the more beautiful little packets of molecules.

I once took a philosophy course and our first paper was "How do we know someone else sees the same blue I see? What does 'That is blue'" mean?

The last time anyone else experienced your reality was probably when you were very young and with others of same age probably in your first educational setting.

But as your range of experiences grows it colours your perspective on everything.
I was once on a course and I met a serving police officer.
We were discussing similar issues with the lecturer when this police officer said in a somewhat throwaway comment Because everyone interprets 'reality' in a different way

When they agree with everything without question.

I see it as the philosophy of Life as how we come to existence and exist and think act etc. To each, only I exist and all others are a metaphor through which we develop our thoughts. In other words all others are just books that have content and we take only what we want.

Deep subject.. shall continue later. bfn .

All that exists that can be denied deserves to be denied; and being truthful means: to believe in an existence that can in no way be denied and which is itself true and without falsehood.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Because your conscious only helps you determine right and wrong. Your mind can develop images of people but not entire personalities.

That's something I've considered all my life. I think there's no way to actually know, honestly. It sort of has to be taken on faith.

I think most have had that thought, at times. Who can say? I think in the Hindu religion we are all part of God, meaning God is playing different roles through each of us, so what we experience is what God experiences.

Imagine being God, and doing that after erasing His own memory, and one day He wakes up to find He is alone in existence, and has to start the process all over again. That would be a nightmare. To be that alone.

Trying to decipher this.

You're standing next to a person, watching someone cut down a tree. You're sad, and you're looking at the other person, thinking they're also sad? That might be true, only if you're both responding to a Facebook post, directing you to head out to the location, where the evil condo owner, is getting a tree cut down. If the condo is the person standing next to you, then no, they're experiencing a different reality, even though it's the same event.

We can't know anything about anything really. So you can't.

🤨

Because people do things you are not aware of or for reasons you cannot understand. A projection would presumably have some flavour of the mind projecting it.

Philosophers have mused over such matters since forever, it seems, but no, it's not a line of thought I have any interest in whatsoever.

I don't think they do experience your reality. They have different experiences., desires, and perceptions. I like how you think!

Yes. And then I check the newspaper and labeling on my toothpaste to insure nothing has changed 😌 This morning I was confirming things that i had changed yesterday. To confirm I'm still in this reality...(I was abnormally anxious and freaking out yesterday). I mean. It would be cool to be the only 'real' person. But meh.

Nope.
Not me.
Same as apples felt before Newton, our awareness of it is mostly of (at least) weak relevance for the Universe being how it is.

If you start from the viewpoint that you and others are separate then maybe that's the wrong way to look at things?

Everyone’s perception is shaped by a mix of genetic heritage and experiences, they will all diverge to some extent

No-one else experiences what you see as reality because our experiences will alter reality in a unique way.

No.... but sometimes I doubt whether I exist or not. Also, I wouldn't expect others to experience my reality.

not really....probably did when I was little....I think it's a worthwhile thought though.

That's called solipsism and yes, I often doubt that anything other than myself is real.

I usually think either everyone else is an npc, or I'm an npc in the real world.

I’m not sure anyone experiences the exact same realty . 😊

Everyone has their own version of reality and truths

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear

you told few hours ago you finished the story im still waiting :P

I never really thought about it

No way. Especially the dog a few cars down.

Leaving the womb can have a traumatic effect on the mind. Maybe the fact that you were born by a mother would help you grasp reality.

Still waiting on you to finish what you started 🤭

Or it is the Matrix? :)

No i know other people actually exist.. idk about your people tho

There is no you having those thoughts.

your not aware of me anymore 🥺

Read "The Ultimate Egoist" by Theodore Sturgeon.

No

Philosophically speaking, you don't.
The only thing we can be certain of is that we as conscious observers, exist.
As objective as we try to be, we all use our subjective experiences to see the world.
We are basically just aware that we are aware.

I believe that my experiences and existence isnt of my own in isolation. There are defy millions out there going through the same

so that means you're a figment of my imagination. admit it!!! the jig is up! I'm wise to you and you can't hide it.

cuz youre not insane?

Main character syndrome. Yeah I get that as well.
