What is solipsism?
In: 3
Solipsism is often referred to as being self centred, as in doesn’t care for other people. A lot of time though, people with this condition have been shown to have difficulty in acknowledging that people around them have feelings as they do, oftentimes the person feels that they are the only one with feelings and that theirs matter because they are real to them.
If I were to tell you I was sad for something that held no weight for you, would you become upset as well? Not really, because you can’t feel my feelings. You may feel some sympathetic sadness, but our feelings are personal. People with solipsism just simply could not fathom that my sadness would be legitimate.
