I am a 19 year old from the midwest. I have scared of solipsism for over a year now. Fearing that everything is a product of my own mind. That I am the only conscious being and that everythign is a prodct of my own mind. My girl, my family, my dog, etc are all not conscious themselves. While some people find it intriguing I find it quite disturbing. That would be my worst nightmare since life is based upon human relationships. Anybody have any way to overcome this fear? Its taken over my life.
@Sakufedorpenn123,
Welcome to the forum! One way I think you could overcome your fear is by allowing others to have the same capacities as yourself within your mind. What you are capable of others are as well.
