I believe I exist, that the world exists, I just can't prove it. And how do I handle the world, it drives me fucking insane of course, as it does all sane people. The really twisted fucks are the ones who like it here and therefore fear death. Irrational off the damn charts.It's known as "object permanence", and in babies it happens at 8 to 12 months, if they see the object being hidden.Don't take that bet, if asked. It is entirely impossible to prove that you, or any of this, is real.Maybe you do not exist and we are all the product of an extraterrestrial LSD lab experiment...
How awesomely escapist.
I know I said I was not a practiced therapist, but I do remember some things from my human development classes in high school. Did you ever get to the point, at about the age of two, where you realized the world did not go away when you covered your eyes?

I was cutting you some slack.
So how do you handle this problem of denial of the external world?
