Today I was walking and I was feeling bad because there were many people around me, until I saw a person with sunglasses and I “realized” that they were all actors (I didn’t believe that but I had this feeeling). Immediately I was freed from my social anxiety, I started to stare at the other people and I was thinking “wow, very good acting, impressive scenario, very realistic!”
Did anyone experience something similar?
Yeah, twice when I was very ill. I thought other patients in hospital were actors. As I got better, I realised they were just other patients like me. But the feeling and the certainty were very real to me.
I felt they were all there acting out a part for me and that I was part of a complex exorcism!
Anyway, like I said, they were just other patients.
Somewhat. I always who’s resources they’re wasting - and how do I get on such a payroll too, and all for what?
No one wants, nor cares what this one little girl thinks - ME.
P.S.Wouldn’t it be a hoot if they realized all the money the’yre spending was for naught- if they want to know something, they could ask directly.
I felt this way for a long time. Fortunately it has gotten better over time.
I felt like that for a long time and still struggle with it some days. During my big psychotic break people being actors and everything being fake was a huge theme in my delusions. Nowadays something coincidental will happen and I’ll have to question reality for a sec, it sucks.
everyone’s an actor? wouldn’t care: I stay home much.
Everyone kind of is an actor in a sense, projecting whatever they want you to see.
I thought everyone at the Hospital were actors.
I gave pictures and other stuff to random people. I believed they would forward in to the Media. I thought everyone’s names were fake or designed to make fun of me.
So yeah…been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.
I kind of get that feeling. But I think the operation is run by demons so when someone is acting with precision I just think that guy’s got a whole lot of demon in him.
“All the world is a stage and we are all just bit players in it.”
Shakespeare I believe.
Well the truth is that most, if not all, people are really acting in some way when they are out in public. I know its different from what you mean in your post. But people love their games and love to drive other people crazy.
I feel this way a lot i dont think everyone is an actor but I think a lot of people are under cover and a lot of people are in disguise I think they are FBI , CIA ,or local police. They are usually putting me through some kind of initiation to join there unit. I want nothing to do with them , because they can control my mind remotely, would take my family away, and would put me in grave danger. I remember once in the hospital I noticed an older nurse was wearing a wig. So I brought everyone’s attention to the fact that she was undercover and wearing a wig. She was horrified.
She thought I was the worst.
Do I think everyone is an actor? Are you kidding? I live in that delusion every damn day. I am being remotely mind controlled as part of a brain study that is being watched by the whole world. Everyone around me knows exactly who I am. They are pretending they don’t. I am the most recognized person in history. They are going to bizarrely extreme and expensive lengths to put on this shyt-show. The TV is fake (especially the news) and my internet (including this forum) are staged and fake. That means all the interviews on the news, the rally’s and debates are all fake. Like I said: extreme. I have been to big events with audiences of thousands who know who I am and are pretending they don’t. I just sit there like I am anybody else. Like I have done for years. They have been doing this to me for about 15 years but they only told me, in my head, 21 months ago. And ya know what? There isn’t a good god damn thing I can do about it so I just play along. I don’t think people are necessarily using fake names. I think that is the real dentist and the real cashier etc. I think they are just living in my reality and keeping me in the dark like the Truman Show. They pretend all the fake shyt is real. Like Trump being President. I do not believe that is real.
Anyway, yes I believe everyone is acting and my word is fake as shyt. I am thinking of trying a new med to see if I can make this better. It is very distracting.
Not to detract from your own experiences but…same. And it’s hellish.
sometimes I think that everyone’s an actor. some are. like scammers and such.
but I know a handful of people who aren’t actors. they are all that matter.
As I kid, I used to dream that everyone was wearing masks to trick me, used to dream it many nights
