I think since I have watched the "What is reality" video late at night trying to fall asleep, I have started to develop the "Main Character Syndrome".
It was my second time watching this video, but when I woke up it didn't really affect me. I only noticed it when I was at the gym (a couple of days later), I still thought about it from day to day, but nothing too serious. Until, one day when I was at the gym. Usually, the gym is pretty packed, but this day, it was kind of empty.
So, I just sat on a leg machine, looked around the gym, and the idea of reality being an imagination came to me. After this idea, I just started looking differently at the people around me. I was trying to see if they are real or just bots walking around who are trying to act like what I would imagine would make sense to me.
The entire time I was at the gym, I thought that I was like the main character of this imagination. But, then I came back home and it faded away after a couple of hours.
From time to time, I still get this feeling, but nothing like the first time it happened. Occasionally, I try to force it (because it's a cool feeling), but it doesn't work as the first time.
Do you also experience this perspective? How often? Am I regressing into a narcissist or is it part of the development?
I also took the narcissism test that Leo have posted on his blog, I got 11/40 and I took the test very seriously (took me like 15-20 minutes).
