What if you just discovered you were just like Truman? Your entire life has been a script. Though you were real, everyone around you was merely acting. Your world isn’t as big as you thought… you are actually just living in a big dome.
When I watch the Truman Show, I seriously start putting myself in his shoes. And for the rest of the day, I find myself walking into the gas station and the thought crossing my head “this is all staged”. What a weirdo.
The same thing happened when I studied so much about schizophrenia. It doesn’t usually hit people until their twenties. Check. They really and truthfully think the people they see, events they experience, are real. Check. What if someone set you down and was like “oh, we have to take you to a mental institute, sorry… but that best friend you think you have? They aren’t real…”
Call me crazy. Go ahead.

it’s ok. when i was little, i used to live in my own imagination…i was such a weird kid. i used pretend that my whole life was like a TV show i was starring in. kinda like truman show, only i was aware of it.
