Why does it feel like nothing is real?

Question

I always tell myself that nothing is possible, and that it would be stupid to think anything is real...but then, if nothing is real, how could i be typing this? It bugs me all my life to know how everything is possible.

Answer 1

I used to be a strong christian,

then i started thinking- why is everything so unreal,?

am i living a dream,? nothing is possible,

i started losing friends and smoking and drinking and

stuff because i literally bought into beleiveing that

life isn't real, and that nothing is truely happen.

it was all a figment of my imagination.

sometimes i would even wonder if i'm in a coma and maybe

this is just happening in my dream when i'm asleep in it.

it's common to think like that, and you will probably always

think like that until you find something to beleive in,

a strong foundation.

i became a christian again, and i still feel a little lost

sometimes, and i still have some doubts.

i'm not trying to preach to you- you don't need to beleive

in God. I'm just telling you to beleive in SOMETHING

because if you don't, your going to fall for anything.

Just like i did.

It was the most depressing time of my life when my thought process was like yours is now.

i even started hurting myself because i felt that i would rather be dead than alive in something so unreal.

just find something to beleive in, and trust me, it will help so much.

and if you don't want to find something to beleive in, and you find it too big of a struggle for you-

then just enjoy whatever this is.

even if it isn't life, even if it is a dream, whatever it is-

just enjoy it. because whatever it is- it has an end,

and it comes sooner than you think.

you'll make it through, i did, and i know you can too.

Answer 2

because real is relative

Answer 3

You're arguement is just semantics. Even if nothing is "real" you're still a fake person in a fake world which by definition means you follow the same rules of a "real" world. The only difference is wording

Answer 4

Everything is real. Believe me, everything is real. I didn't go through 9 grueling surgeries to tell me that that wasn't real d**n it.

Lay off the LSD

Answer 6

Answer 7

Go pick a fight and then nurse your real wounds while you ponder your next stupid question.

Answer 8

I think you need to get a job.  A sense of responsibility combined with real social interaction, will cure you of your ennui.
