I was reading something about psychology and it was talking about solipsism. The more I tried to read into it the more I got confused. I’m just looking for an easier explanation or definition.

If you were reading psychology, you were probably reading about a personality disorder rather than about the philosophy — especially the word “solipsistic.” This is the belief that only your own experiences and existence can be known or are important. This may not be literally true, but solipsistic people focus only on their own experience to explain why everything happens. Lots of people view the band “Steely Dan” as solipsistic, for example, and there are a lot of neurotically solipsistic artists out there.
