existential dread inc.
so lately i've been thinking over the idea that (similar to Andy Weir's "The Egg"), i could be the single form of consciousness in the world and everyone else is just a reincarnation of myself and all that jazz. that, combined with ideas of existential nihilism make me think that i'm literally alone in the universe and everything else, and it's an incredibly lonely feel.
how can i convince myself otherwise? because i'm very fixed on this idea and it sucks pls help
i don't mean to sound pretentious or whatever, it's a legitimate fear.

Pic related is the creator of conan the barbarian.
You did not know that until right now.
Happens sometimes. Maybe you're just a figment of my mind, whatever. Just enjoy the reality you have and don't think about it too deeply, you're probably going to die so, enjoy that shit.

The bigger picture to consider is Heisenberg's uncertainty principal. Position and momentum can not simultaneously be observed. At the lowest levels of elementary subatomic particles, fields, and waves... information becomes contorted, disrupting it's state.
This is powerful information.

I was where you were 2 years ago. You need to learn to take reality for what it presently provides. Nothing is certain. There is no "master plan". Just say fuck it and enjoy your little moment in the chaotic dance of chaos.

I haven't seen any fellow chaos practitioners on /adv/ for three months, and I just recommended some girl that asked about Wiccan spells to try and see if sigils are more effective, three minutes ago.
It's funny how these things sync.
Also OP, consider the possibility that there is only one single proton in existence, and that it got the ability to move backwards in time and change positions and infinite amount of times. Everything and everyone is one.
You and the universe is the same.
Listen to Alan Watts, and you'll grow fond of the idea, instead of fearing it.

confirmed for not understanding how science works
>>17259175
Either take leap of faith and delve into some dogmatic or philosophical idea that provides your life with some subjective meaning like these clowns >>17259210 >>17259273 or accept the fact that as a mere human you can never truly understand any fundamental truths of the universe even if they did exist, so to worry about them is futile.
Or you could do both.
>>17259175
Gee, you sound an awful lot like me.
>>17259175

Dear OP
You're young and stupid and grasping at straws in order to build a framework for structuring your understanding of the world.
In 5 years time you'll realize how silly you sound right now.

b-but i've had these thoughts for almost 4 years now
>>17259175
if you really thought that you wouldn't be asking for help.

Don't worry. Paranoid shit like that is best healed with time. Soon, it will diminish until it some other paranoid shit. Or you'll just turn normal.
I've gone through my fair share of existential crises. Fuck high dose shrooms.
