Is the World Really a Simulation?

- Are you disturbed by the simulation hypothesis? Many people seem scared after reading about the simulation "theory". Let's find out if there's any truth to this argument.
If you suffer from depersonalization and derealization disorder chances are you already feel disconnected from reality. Now you may be even more confused after seeing headlines that claim that we may be living inside a simulation. I'm here to debunk this "theory". Watch this video if you want to feel calm and have peace of mind.

I heard a podcast about the simulation theory like a year ago and it triggered my DP/DR that I hadn't experienced in yeeeeeeears. Thanks you for this video
God is still the best explanation tho, nothin else even comes close.
U believe in god yet find it hard to accept thepossibility ur gods Imagination aka a simulation

Very helpful, Swamy.
When it comes to dpdr, one is always forgetting that it's a result of a severe anxiety which makes you seeking truths, refusing any sort of uncertainty.
But why seeking truths?
Cause one feels like there's a perceived danger, and by the time the body got used to that kind of energy, trapped with the emotions of anxiety, dealing with any hypothesis as a traumatic truth, and it actually triggers the trapped emotions.
While the only thing that one really need is calmness.
Stop searching, stop trying to conceptualize things around you, and it will lead you to compassionate with yourself, feel it again, experience being.
Just let the energy/emotions come through your body and feel it , write about it, talk about it, it will be much better than identifying with it or identifying the universe itself.
Then you can accept uncertainty again and it should take some time to get rid of the trapped emotions, reaching calmness and connection.
Much appreciated.
Thank you Swamy. You made this video at the right time for me. I’ve been suffering w, DPDR since December and although it’s gotten extremely better and I am able to live my life normally and happily without feelings of unreality, my friends comment about the world being a simulation triggered some old existential thoughts. I began to wonder if we were in a simulation and if all my friends and family who I love so much were just robots. This video helped relieve some of that anxiety. Thanks!
great vid! tbh what helped me is having a mantra to ground me while experiencing intense dpdr and what helped me was “i think therefore i am”.
i had to fully understand what it meant for it to help. but i think the main problem n why it helped is bc mentally i didn’t have a “rebuttal” or deeper understanding to combat the thoughts arguing that nothing exist but that quote helped n grounded me a lot. also ur meditations lol
I found your channel on the dpr subReddit. Thank you so much for making videos on dpr especially this particular one.
I’ve been having a hard time actually living. This helps
I’ve started to believe I’m the only person whose “woke” and it feels really strong do you think this still might be derealization or am I crazy? Everything feels so different to me it’s like my whole reality is changing, I’ll stand on one corner of my house and look at everything and wonder how I’m even standing there at the same time I feel so lost. Is that normal for dp/dr I just don’t know who to talk to and I’m loosing hope every single day .
Hi, I know you are searching for hope. I know you think there is a cure and this cure needs to be discovered. I know you have racing mind. I know you are scared. I had been there 4 months ago. Most of times I thought I am in hell and god have no mercy on me. Every little clue like bad weather, made me think I am in hell. Reality used to scare me. And I can still remember how I see the walls. It is so scaring and confusing. I am almost recovered. I can say most important thing is live your life normally. You was healthy person like everyone else before dp/dr. So what you are experiencing is all about anxiety and dp/dr. Searching for other illnesses nonsense. I am 100% sure, searching for cure makes it worse. Stop worrying about it. Stop searching about it. Find a hobby, play guitar, play video games, be social etc. Stay safe
@@bedirhangkce how do I do that when it feels so heavy and I see all of my friends and family having fun and being happy while I feel so lonely and lost it just makes me so unmotivated to do anything because I might never feel the same ever again, what’s the point of even living. The part that scares me is that what if I don’t even have dp/dr and it’s all made up by my mind and I don’t know how to get out.
@@ceciliadelacruz2358 like I said earlier, you was normal person before dp/dr like everyone else. I know that it's very hard to calm down. I cannot even sleep for 1 month I am 23 years old and I woke my mother every night. Questions like, what if all the people who I know just a product of my imagination. What if my parents, my sister is not real. But here I am, I don't have those feelings anymore. I visited psychiatrist lots of times. And he finally decide to give me ssri, its very low dose and help me a lot to seeing things logically. Life is a mystery. We live in a planet that we don't know how exists. You can read this sentences because you learned English before, when you had normal life. Don't forget that. Experience of dp/dr cause reduce seratonin levels. And that makes you so depressed. That's why you have no hope about yourself. You need to force yourself to be normal.
I'm in the same situation 😔 I'm always so scared because, even if I'm just at home, everything's feels unreal and weird . Going outside is even worse, it's like I'm into a Bubble
@@giuliasantoro2594 same. I legit have panic attacks daily and when there are ppl I legit freak out. I’m so sick of everything feeling like a movie screen and not actually in front of me
I had an edible and watched a video on Sim hypothesis and that triggered my dp/dr & anxiety (amongst some major life changes) and after a couple months of grappling with this, I came across your channel. When I saw this video I was a little scared and triggered to watch this but You made some really really great points that calmed my anxiety around this. In my mind it’s like “duh, this is dumb” but it was still unsettling. But this video reaffirmed some great things so thank you.
Swammy i woke up two days ago more recovered than before i feel a little more connected and my vision is correcting gradually
That’s good to hear, I’ve seen your comments in a bunch of videos and you seemed very worried but I’m glad you’re doing way better now :)
@@ceciliadelacruz2358 even tho i feel better im still kind of worried that i may never see the world normal again but i can say that recovery happens super gradually its’s been a year and 6 months the only thing that bothers me is too much sunlight so i put on glasses and feel good again when the dpdr started for me it was so intense that i was dizzy all the time and could not even eat well and if i ate i would throw up that panic attack fucked up my life
@@thc7865 yes I was like that too that has gotten better but now everything feels weird like my whole reality has shifted and It’s like realizing you’re alive but you realize too much and it sent me into panic mode so everything feels so different I don’t know how that could ever go away .
@@ceciliadelacruz2358 like that sense that you are in a unreal world and that you are crazy and everyone else is normal and you feel like a total alien disconnection from the world it really is terrifying
Great keep going 👏
your videos just absolutely hit different.
Thanks for all the videos, Sir 😊
My dp journey is now about to complete 2 years. I was better than before but suddenly I've experiencing OCD symptoms , it's not associated with physical compulsions but somehow mental. I am thinking too much about every little things and trying to analyse again and again to get some relief.
Anyone ever experienced this?
I experience this too! What has helped most for me is a book called DARE which helps with anxiety. Also, remembering that OCD does not respond to logic. Good luck :)
I’m experiencing this too right now!
Guys I went to psychiatrist a week ago and I have been diagnosed with GAD OCD DP AND DR . Doctor prescribed me SSRI and TCA.
@@souryadeepj how are you feeling now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@nawabKhan-tv7vh Better than before. What about you?
Due to the current state of anxiety and derealization, I instilled in myself such a worldview based on existential thoughts that all human activity in life is built on the secretion of certain hormones (or brain biochemistry, the essence is the same), so more and more I do not see the point in human relationships, in art, study, career, travel, yes and throughout life, because all this in the context of such thoughts is fake, ephemeral.
Because of this, I experience a terrible depression, and it seems that I will never be able to be as happy as before. That this stupid "philosophy of nihilism" will become entrenched in my personality, and either I have to somehow morally come to terms with it, or I simply cannot do it, driving myself into an even stronger depression, and as a result - suicide.
I already can hardly believe that these existential thoughts can let you go along with the anxiety and derealization, as other popularizers of the topic claim. This brings terrible moral torment. Still, other people in this state, it seems to me, at least hold on to something in their life, but I fell into such a pit, from which I see less and less a way out, and after all, only 3 months have passed since everything started. I feel wild guilt from all this, because if it were not for the smoked "joint", then I would be a happy person. Now I think that on the basis of such a destructive worldview for me and the whole condition in general, my life is ruined, because in the past I did not adhere to such a way of thinking, and it seems that this will be fixed in my new, not so good personality. Did we have something? What should I do in this case?
And also, a often think about existencial thoughts like: "What is the meaning of the art of creativity? What does this activity give people?" You know, many people advise to be distracted by movies, TV shows, music, and so on, in order to shift your focus from monitoring your condition. But because of such thoughts, it is extremely difficult to do it.
And, in principle, I no longer seem to understand how human society works. It seems that I am superfluous in it, but at the same time I think philosophically in the context that "everything is clear to me, and there is nothing else to do in this world." This is terrible.
Depression it's a catastrophe. It seems permanent, you can't even imagine a positive mental state. Every thing that you do seems usless, or counterproductive. At a certain point you give up, and acknowledge the fact that your live will be hard until the end. But this is not true. You have seen reality under a new perspective, but you will get used to it. You will absorb this dimension and at a certain point your mental state will be "normal" again. If you don't learn how to manage emotions, stress and DP/DR you may end up there again (usually never as hard as the first time). Know this, it will pass, always. Even the existential thought, they are just "searching for threads" for now. It can be part of your usual nature if you are curious, but trust me, when your mental state will be back to normal there will be much more freedom around those topics. And about the meaning, I suggest you to check Jordan Peterson, maybe it can help ruclips.net/video/wLvd_ZbX1w0/видео.html
@@samiso5900 hello. Thanks for your comment. I talking with my psychoterapist about this. He understands dp/dr very well, and he has experience in work with this condition in 25 years. And about my existential pons, he also has already explained very well to me. I'm already trying to calm down a little on this score.
@@samiso5900 here's what he said about this:
It all SEEMS to you, and precisely because DP / DR causes a feeling of mechanism of being, a feeling of being a robot, lifeless, machine, some kind of automaton, and causes a dulling of emotions.
On this basis, it begins to seem that all other people are the same robots, automata or machines, or that people are something like ants or bees, that they do not have free will, freedom of choice and are controlled by instincts or reflexes, or this is how you invented yourself - hormones,
and it begins to seem as if everything is an illusion, everything has no meaning, neither culture, nor science, nor art, nor travel, nor relationships with others, since everything is so mechanistic, so predetermined and controlled by something like reflexes or instincts or hormones or chemical reactions in the brain.
BUT, REALLY, things are not so simple. The human psyche, and in particular its emotional sphere, and, moreover, the sphere of reason, thinking, is actually VERY complex, and it is NOT REDUCED to either hormones or chemical reactions, nickname reflexes, or instincts, or electrical signals in to the brain, it is MUCH more complicated. Just as an atom cannot be reduced to a soup of protons, neutrons and electrons, and chemistry is not reducible to physics, and stars and planets are not reducible to the chemicals of which they are composed, and astronomy / cosmology itself is also not reducible to physics. nor to Chemistry, and the cell is not reducible to its constituent molecules, and biology is not reducible to chemistry, let alone physics.
It's the same here. And you will be treated, and all these metaphysical symptoms will go away, along with the feeling of being mechanistic, along with the feeling of being a robot or an automaton, or a machine, and the meaning of everything will return to you.
Human psychology is also not reducible to neurophysiology or neurochemistry or neuroendocrinology.
I'm glad to hear that you are managing this n.n
How are you now?? Fully recovered? Are these scary metaphysical thoughts gone?
@Swarmy G
How do you address the obsessive and intrusive thoughts about reality not being real? I'm trying to gentle and firmly tell myself the truth but I still get really weird thoughts and feelings
Ohhh gawwd I go through something so fucking similiar 🙂
Hi Swamy,
I bought the program from dp no more, with e-mail support for 30 days. I respond to the e-mails with the specified e-mail address but I do not receive a response from you… maybe they don't arrive correctly that could be. I have a lot of questions, can we get in touch?
Great video, I've subscribed straight away. Can I ask a question. When living your life. Did you ever experience a cross other between reality and harming. So driving the car and because it's not reality it doesn't matter if you crash. Or possibly jumping off a balcony to test reality. This is my real fear, since I read it somewhere never once thought of it before.
This is a very common fear. Kierkegaard talked about this. Search for the dizziness of freedom.
@@RealSwamyG Thanks for replying so quickly, you say its common but I haven't heard many people mention it. So I was worried it was only me. Looking for advice on how to approach it.
Obviously an npc trying to make other NPCs feel better bout they none existence
It's funny that a person who believes in the simulation hypothesis is claiming others as NPC. Time to take a long stare in the mirror.
While you're at it, also tell us why you think the earth is flat.

Yes
You are operating according to your script. Neutrality was programmed into a small percentage of avatars. Well done.
Who runs the avatars? Aliens?
Lmao look at Mario trying to make sense of his world those who cant see reality is a simulation/dream most likely an npc (none player character) cant think for themself run on algorithm
