Well as to not being able to be happy about being a solipsist: That said I have been doing the stuff you said for some time since I first read about i...

I do want to be rid of it but confirmation bias to me is a bad thing. Choosing a belief purely out of comfort is what “stupid people do” (to just put ...

Hume did have interesting things to say about it. And you might have a point. Though I think it’s a bit fallacious to say if the minds of the past cou...

That’s true. I mean philosophy has many things like that. But the point is to challenge our certainty and keep us honest. I don’t think they’re meant ...

I’ve tried such things before but it didn’t work. But the fact that I can’t even be sure if it was true, or what he said or who said it, undermines it...

The part about this is that I have to wonder if I was mistake that what I read was proof. Googling it showed nothing, no site no author that proves so...

Also I was googling and found this, would these be good arguments against it? https://carm.org/about-philosophy/what-is-solipsism-and-is-it-true/

I want to love someone that would love me back but I can’t do that with solipsism. I can’t make friends with solipsism. Even therapy didn’t work becau...

I…didn’t understand a word of it.

I can’t do that and I tried counseling but it didn’t work at all. I can’t treat it like a dream or a lucid dream. That would just make it worse. Nothi...

it is entirely solipsism. Especially that post on that day that “proved it true”. I could let it go as a maybe yes or no if not for that post. But I c...

No. It’s followed me every day. Something just felt unreal ever since I read about it. I’ve turned to so much but nothing has been working. That’s why...

Being cosmically alone (potentially). That all I love and care for isn’t real because they’re just mental projections. It’s scary. I can imagine huggi...

I would actually be way more comfortable with universal mind than being the only one around.

There aren’t physical values, nothing has innate value. No, this is simply not true. Something isn’t precious just because everyone wants it or needs ...

hence why he is wrong. Also I don’t think there are such things as learned desires.

Wrong.

And that's it? So the quote is wrong?

What do you mean?

Shows me you don't understand that equation.

I think you're the one who needs to if you think it's all energy. That's so wrong I don't even know where to start. Let me guess, you got to the level...

atoms, duh.

False, 100%. Reality is not energy and has been proven so. Also not relevant in the slightest.

Again I’m referring to the link about the social nature of emotions and how it’s talking about the being intrinsically social.

this has nothing to do with the subject

What? You're not gonna deny it?

No I meant that its society brainwashing, proving you wrong that you said it isn't so.

actually I have to take that back, this proved you wrong: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00896/full

I guess we do genuinely feel things. I'm also not really sure how society makes us feel things, if it did then why doesn't it work for everyone.

But that can't be true because then where did society get that from? I would think faking it would hurt more. Nothing stings more than someone who is ...

I think there is a difference between someone faking it and someone who means it. Like people who congratulate you on something, because that's what y...

"she" is the person who made the quote originally.

What are you getting at? What she meant by genuine and what I meant are two different things. She meant it like uncaused cause, and I said how you fee...

Then by that dictionary definition we do genuinely feel things.

But it's caused by something so it's not genuine. How our family makes you feel is based on how society says you ought to feel about it. Which again i...

It's something I can't get over because to deny it would be living a lie and telling yourself what you feel is genuine.

IT's not missing anything. It's sort of like saying that society makes you feel ways about certain things. If you took someone not raised in the world...

also she’s not suicidal not sure where you got that

Well in meditation if you do it there is a state they say where you are watching the experience as if from afar. So in a sense you become the watcher ...

Genuine being uncaused or affected by anything else. Feeling is feeling, the response you get. You is you, the subject. Though with meditation it coul...

Can you prove any of that? Some people grow up in societies when that sort of sweet thing doesn’t cause a happy reaction and some people just don’t ge...

it’s not. How can you genuinely feel anything. You are taught how to feel about certain things, how certain values are good and what one ought to valu...

It’s actually not the most genuine, compelling, truest reason especially if society is making you want it, so that’s just wrong. Not even close there.

what’s there to support it’s simply a fact of life so you haven’t really given a counter to that point.

Because your feeling is wrong. So far there isn’t evidence to suggest any sort of god or anything else beyond the here and now. You just sound delusio...

but you haven’t proven it so. That desire to live is because society pushes it all the time. Most people don’t question whether their feelings are gen...

I already did answer that. If we don’t genuinely feel things what’s the point in living. You haven’t really answered why anyone should.

again you’re still not

No, it’s imparted onto you by society.

No, there is no aspect of your behavior that belongs entirely to yourself.
