Have you ever not believe in reality?

Question

Have you ever thought this stuff isn't real?

What I am seeing on T.V. isn't real. What I read in the newspapers isn't real.

Have you ever thought like that?

Have you ever just completely not believe in reality and the real world

Answer 1

Man, I have been dealing with this for the last year. But I think I developed this anxiety or reality perception, so now I am not POSITIVE whether what I am doing is real or not. I'm not sure whether it means anything if I do a certain thing. I wonder this all the time. Yes I have not believed in it sometimes, but when I forget about it the feelings go away.

On YouTube there is this video by AtheneWins about this. And they say whether or not this is real or not, you have to do whatever makes you happy. Because you know that your emotions are real. That is one of the only things you can actually FEEL.

Anything is possible.

Answer 2

...only when dreaming and/or in a stupor...

Answer 3

I have on occasion not believed in individual experiences. I recently saw on TV a demonstration of something called 'Chess Boxing' in which contestants beat on each other then sit down to play chess...then beat on each other some more.

I said, "This cannot be real."

I'm still not sure I was wrong...

Answer 4

its all about levels of doubt. i thought about that question several years. my conclusions are:

of course everything has the possibility of not being real

it doesn't matter either way you answer it.

go to the extreme and say nothing is real. now where are we? Im addicted to taco bell, and bowling, im not just gonna give those up if i come to that conclusion. there is obviously something real about this world. what are you going to just not do anything anymore? stupid to even think about that kinda life. so yes this is beyond our reach, but worthless to worry about. philosophy should be judged in as much as it is useful. questions like that are not gonna be figured out, so put your mind to better use like I did.
