you live in is entirely a very private affair?

I ask this Q bec I saw this answer picked as a Best Answer:
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
I have a notion that every person lives in his or her "own little world".
Every individual interacts with & perceives the world differently; and therefore, every individual would define "the world" differently. We carry this microcosm with us--imagine that each individual is surrounded by a large "bubble" that contains his miniature reality. When people are close to us, their bubble overlaps ours. Their sense of "the real" is most similar to ours.

By my way of thinking, therefore, it is not possible for anyone to "truly", or *universally* exist. If I don't know Tom, Tom does not, in my world, exist. True, he exists in *his* world, but that is irrelevant to me.
So, no, it is not necessary to be perceived. The invisible person would still exist,but only in his own cognizance.

I was on mild anti depressents Zoloft & 0.5 mg Alparazolam SOS panic, for 3 years to cure lack of cheerfulness.Dont know how much that helped but I gradually reduced and stopped taking three weeks ago. Instaed I switched to a Homeopathic medicine and am feeeling no problem except severe dreams. The dreams are so life like, sequenced with logical stories that make a compelete story. The contents are relevent with real people playing real role. Sometimes after getting up I am really confused try to recall if I really had such incidents in my life. I remember them longer.One thing is common though and that is that Its to do with a friendship or love. In real life I am very lonely at heart as cud'nt get a friend /partnet that give me any emotional support. After such dreams, if positive, I feel so contented even and temporarily restful. & oif otherwise exhasted.(Once I even had a movie like murder mystry story that ended with logical resolve).

Now taht i've experienced love first hand i know what it feels like. Its almost getting to be a long lost addiction from my previouse, and last, relationship. But what gets me is why it feels so good. What i like to say about love is: "the reason we crave it is because it's the closest thing we have to magic." But i know thats not it, i just say that so i can have an answer for myself.... but somehow i know its true.

My BF's son has had emotional and behavioral problems his whole life, he is now 13. He also reads and writes at about a 2nd grade level, but BF now insists he does not have a learning disability, he is just VERY lazy.He has recently begun seeing a psychiatrist. The problem is, as he done with about 8 other therapists, is that he sits there and refuses to talk. He answers"I don't know" to everything, or just looks out the window.They have tried a few different antidepressants, so far he hasnt really responded to any of them very much, but then he lies about having taken his medicine. Yes I realize his mother should make sure he takes it but she is at the end of her rope with him.He also gorges himself with food, and is double his ideal weight.He locks himself in his bedroom and eats 5000 calories at once!! I am scared to have him come to our house, he also has a history of physical aggression.If I ask BF whats going on, I am looking for trouble, if I dont ask I'm not showing interest.
