This philosophy is referred to #Solipsism which I’m sure you’re aware of, but for any who aren’t, it’s a fascinating concept, but if I may leave a caution: do not mistake your ego for solipsism.
We still have our roles to perform in “shared reality” after all… treat others with kindness, patience and empathy; hopefully it’s the way you would want to be treated, too.
Even if you can’t objectively “prove” anything but your own experience, being less egoistic will make your own experience much better. 💛

Haha no worries, you noticed really quickly after the precious message 😄 I'm not one to think in absolutes, especially not when it comes to existentialism.
Solipsism was a huge stumbling block for me in Philosophy 101.
I couldn't prove anything existed outside of my own consciousness.
In a roundabout way, solipsism is accurate.
Ah but "proving" is merely "a matter of matter". Heaven and earth (subjective + objective) are part of the same system.
Take mathematics for example. Amazing as it is, it does not point to any absolute truth.
It is, however, something we can base our reality on because it is a verifiable tool of information, and helps us progress as a species in a remarkable way.
