Hi, I am a junior at a college and I just discovered solipsism and I am writing a term paper on it. So, since I am a science guy, the first thing I looked for is the ways to disprove it.

So, basically, if everything I see and experience is a creation of my brain, what happens when I am sleeping or I am in a coma??

Also, one idea that prevents me from rejecting this idea is:

"A rendering machine cannot render itself on its own without someone telling it, what it looks like"

So basically, we dont know what we are, all that comes from someone else telling us what we are.

And maybe that's why, we are still not able to study our brain fully, even though its a small mass at reach.

I could ask these stuff to an LLM, but I wanted a human perspective to this.

Edit: Thanks guys!! for some fresh perspectives and suggestions for entry point to the discourse...

Choice 1: Grind for internships, learn DSA even when you are a chemical engineering student, in hopes of an SDE internship.
Choice 2: Indulge more in chemE and prepare for CAT/GMAT/GRE simulataneously, and get abroad as fast as possible.
I study in a big college, so doing ChemE there is pretty reputed, but there is no scope for ChemE in my country

TL;DR internship or higher studies

I was at a low point in my life, so one day, after an event, me and 2 other friends were waiting for the pizza to arrive.
So we were sitting and talking, so one of my friends, let's call her B, brought her friend A, I had a crush on A for a long time, but I always botched it down and never seriously thought about it, like, where we study, there are a plenty of accomplished guys, who mogg me in every discipline.

So, we all are talking and my other friend, let' call him C, started talking about his past GFs etc... and I was in the conversation etc etc..

Now a little back story: At that day or period, I was considering myself to be an asexual aromantic person, because I genuinely never felt really really attracted to anyone.

So I dropped this bomb, I dont know why, I did it... So from on that point, the team split up into two.

C and B, and Me and A... She even sat next to me, deliberately, we talked about a lot of things, like my family, my thoughts etc. Yes, only mine... she was simply listening and asking me questions when I am done, like a therapist.

I prompted her multiple times to speak something, and I shut myself up multiple times, she wouldnt say much, but was eager to listen more and more about me.

She asked me, who my friends were, what I did most of the day... believe me, I was giving her 2s answers... because I am the most boring and inconsequential person on the planet, and someone being interested in my nerd friends and routine was unreal.

Then at some point, she said, she was hungry, it was like 1-2am in the morning, so we took a walk to the canteen for noodles, I kept walking with her, and once it was ready, we went back to the group...

So, then she asked for my number, but she already had it... and she ended with, if you want to make friends, just go out and meet people, maybe sometimes I'll call you...

================================================================

Switch to few days later, B had blocked me on whatsapp, her friends started giving cold shoulders and inside jokes, and you are dead for me vibe...

I met A on few occasions, and we talked normal, but my eyes are not good liars..
So, recently we had an internship drive for some pretty big companies, so A B and another of their friend were waiting too...

And even me and A talked, she thought, I already gave my interview, but I was talking about another company, she came up to me, not the other way round...

So, B and another friend were called for interview and the people below them had not much hope left...so she was sitting alone in the corner, I was pacing on the opposite side, I was glancing at her every turn... its not creepy, please... I wanted to walk up there and comfort her... saying, there will be more companies and whatnot...

But I was too chicken to do it.

Another point about me and B: I had a crush on B, at beginning of our freshman year and I even asked her out to prom, but I was turned down like a puppy... and I was done, and thought of her as a good friend since then, and nothing more...

Meanwhile this event happened 2 years after the prom event

================================================================

So what exactly is going on here??
