Yes, I have that delusion. People have done lots of things that make me think it’s real. Tons of things. I believe I am in a brain study/reality show. I believe they are watching me with satellite cameras and with the cameras in my eyes and the microphones in my ears. My delusion came on quite suddenly when I was 46 and I am 52 now. My life had spiraled to the bottom and I think it caused me to snap and go crazy. A couple examples of things that happened are: the day I went crazy, my radio stations in my car wouldn’t change anymore. They just stayed on the same station. Another thing is that I called a radio station and was the first to get on the air. Lastly, I went into 7-eleven (never been there before) and asked for a free Coke and they let me have it. Later that same day, I went into Starbucks (never been there before) and told them I had no money and asked for a free grande Frappacino and they gave it to me.
I have had many other things happen to me that make me think I am in a reality show. I keep waiting for it to end so they can pay me the trillions they owe me.

If I had a nickel for every time I read or heard the Truman Show claim, I would probably give the proceeds to Oxfam. All I can say is, when you are on stage, invite a member of the audience to cOmE oN DoWn! (Cue "The Price Is Right’ music now …)
I like the glitches in the Matrix, Unless my Steak Tastes Like Medicine! (lol)
Now toss in

Influencers and stars
And the Truman delusion
Is now actual reality
I believe that psychosis is caused by external entities which are trying to confuse and turn you against the world. In my case at least, this is how I explain it. The truman show delusion is a manifestation of how our thought processes have become twisted.
For the record, I do believe that medicines are a God send, that prevents these influences from having any control, but that they are not perfect yet. We need to be able to feel like the rest of the human race, and like how we felt before the medication. This is our humanity. As it stands, we suffer at the moment when we are disconnected from everyone, and from pleasure in some respects.
I am only able to have these thoughts because the medication allows me to come out of psychosis. The forces are too powerful when I am in it.
But the medical balance needs to be correct, otherwise we are cut off from everything and we are unable to analyse our predicament.
i hope that the same thing happens to me, getting trillions just for acting like me would be super cool

I believe that people (you guys included) have been watching and listening to me since maybe 2009.

I don’t think everybody is watching me but I do think powerful people are. Before I thought ALL powerful people were. Now I think it may just be a smaller number that have control over less powerful people.
tv isn’t my thing if that makes you feel any better

The idea of a Truman Show is too last century for me (sorry @Om_Sadasiva). But us living in a simulation definitely.

Even though it has been months and months since I have been delusional, I still KNOW I am in a reality show/brain study. I have seen way too much ‘evidence’ not to believe it but it doesn’t keep me from living my life. When I wake up in the morning, and I am still in bed, I always think “I wish the brain scientists would come and get me out of this brain study and save me from poverty”
Still waiting…
OMG YES!! I try and explain this to people and they look at me like I’m crazy (I am. I’m a schizophrenic. Lol)
During an episode last year I couldn’t go out for months. Even to the grocery store. I would think everyone was watching me. They were all actors placed there. All of Los Angeles was a movie set (kinda true). Even side conversations people were having with each other that had nothing to do with me felt scripted and disingenuous. None of my movements were my own. My parents weren’t my parents and my friends weren’t my friends. Nothing was real. It felt like I was the only one that wasn’t getting paid to be there.

Knowing my Instant Karma, I am probably going to have to pay Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Wages to all the people that took time out of their day to TRUMANTIZE ME! (Maybe that is why they nag me about getting a job! I don’t need a job … I Am Job!)
I haven’t had an ‘episode’ in several months but I STILL know I am in a reality show/brain study. At this point, I don’t know who is ‘in on it’ and who isn’t but I KNOW that brain scientists are watching me and evaluating me all the time. EVERY day, I hope they will come and get me and ‘save’ me from my lonely existence. I also think ALL of earth’s money is mine and they just need to give me my ‘powers’ so that I can claim my money. I am inclined to believe most people are NOT ‘in on it’ and the scientists are just ‘watching’ how people treat me and how my brain reacts.
