What if I told you, everyone that you see and talk to everyday, were not really there?

Question

All interactions between people are only in your mind. You can only prove one's self

Answer 1

I would think "How do you know this?", and assuming you are right "What practicality does this play in my life?"

Seriously just because I now know everything is in my mind will be different? If I rob a liquer store my mind would still send me to jail. If I act nicely twords imaginary people the imaginary people would act nicely twords me. I know this from past experiance, shows that I can predict things well.

Would that eliminate my emotional connection to them? We have sentimental objects that are not alive so I would say no, but maybe in a small way. Also even though we may "know" that they
aren't real doesn't mean that our emotions will, I think we would act as if they were.

The botom line is that then in my mind the same reasons I do anything now would apply, so I wouldn't really care.

Answer 2

It's all an Illusion,because after everyone you every meet is gone,they want remember talking to you in this life anyway.

Answer 3

I would say.."My god, you must be psychic.
There is NO one in my world that's really there.
Just look at the expressions on their faces. Blank as a hollywood pistal.

I might as well be talking to a tree.
Geesh.
