I had a deep existential crisis at 10 years old....

[KingMalik]

I remember driving down the highway while my older sister drove playing Ex Factor.....I was maybe 9 or 10......I remember looking at the stars in the night sky like: "we're stuck on this planet. And this planet is stuck in our galaxy. And our galaxy is stuck in the universe. But what's outside of that? What's outside of the universe? Is that where God exists? We're like Grand Theft Auto characters that go too far out of the game's play zone and get pushed back. What's outside of the play zone I remember having this feeling that my entire life was being controlled and I got extremely sad

When I was 10 years old I thought I created this planet and if I died everyone would start raping and pillaging all over the world.

Oh look, one of the stars from that day, came back into the night sky.

Delve into this matter deep enough, and you might suffer the Overview Effect.

Worth a quick read OP.

Had a similar thing happen to me when I was 11. It was during school holidays and I just remember sitting in my room, asking myself, "What is the point of life?"

When I was about 9 I became aware the idea that i can only validate my OWN consciousness. I remember thinking to myself, "what if this is all a show, a show just for me" . what do these people REALLY do when they're not in my presence? "

Even as a little kid while I appreciated this universe and the experiences that come with living in it, I've always had this strong instinct that there was something far superior beyond. We're definitely not getting the full picture.

I hate having those dark existential thoughts... they make me depressed.

Is anyone out there?

Personally I've begun to embrace that other side. We are naturally part of the whole mind blowing universe. I don't think that vision is entirely tied into our brains. When we imagine space, is it our imagination or an actual place 'out there'?
