Re: Terrified of solipsism!! Please help
solopsism is a like circular argument. If the world's made up then who's making it up. Is that person made up? Then who is the person that makes up that person? And so on. It's just another impossible riddle that the mind makes up because it's trying to protect itself from a possible threat. That is..non-existence. So if life's made up then that means I'm not really here, therefore i don't exist. so mind is scared because it has a biological drive to survive. Anything that threatens that, be it real or imagined, creates our friendly emotion, fear.
Of course, we can think of it in a different way. I am aware of the thoughts that say that everything is made up. Therefore I exist. Otherwise there would be no I to realise that it didn't exist. even denial is a proof of existence.
