For me it is making more sense but at the same time, I haven't been able to get over this hurdle that people here are calling solipsism.

I'm feeling that if I'm creating everything, then everyone is my puppet and it's just a bunch of inanimate objects I'm playing with. Except I'm not real either.

Take for instance personal relationships. The reason they feel so good is because you feel you are connecting with another person, not yourself. But at the same time, you feel you are with your other half, that in reality you really are them and they are you.

Freaky.
