How do you know "reality" is real? (I'm having doubts)

I mean of course commonsensical, intersubjective reality, reality at its most mundane.

I think the nature of reality should be left to philosophers.

Life is boring for most people.
That’s reality.

And a sad reality that is, but it doesn’t answer the question. Maybe I’m starting to experience derealisation.

I’m not sure. I still think we are in a simulation. I am programmed with bad luck.

The simulation is what I fear.

I think all reality is real in some way, since reality is perception. However, to function we have to stay in the generally shared reality. I base what’s real on what several other people may agree on. My voices are my reality but they don’t exist in the shared reality so therefore they are only in my mind. That’s how I rationalize.

As for being in a simulation, I don’t think so. But if we are I’m not concerned since reality is perception and this world is pretty cool. Whatever it is can be an enjoyable life.

I think of this constantly. I think there is a thin amount of something that exists. Some people say we live in a hologram inside a blackhole. Maybe outside the simulation is the real world and that is real enough for me.

Talking to other people helps a lot, especially if they’re sincere

The less you’re afraid of it, it’s seems to go away

if its maya then transcend the maya with meditation, if its a simulation then do something good to get your feet back on the ground. isn’t it weird what we worry about? lol not food, not work, but spiritual things. we are in our subjective world, looking for something solid and afraid to try it out.

I should add that I’m also questioning other people’s existence.

reality is relative, just like my post is contextual. Take it with a grain of salt perhaps

This is key and what I’m having problems with.

This world is illusory and maya.
Most philosophers said that

It’s known (and widely accepted) as a philosophical position rather than as a legimitate existential predicament. I feel I’m becoming unhinged. Soon I’ll be believing again that I Co created the universe.

I definitely believe other people are real, but I too believe I helped create this universe. I actually believe it and that God got mad at me. It’s artifical and not really philosophical anymore, but existential because you have Musk, Bostrom, and other physicists questioning it and taking it serious. We found computer code in string theory!
