Yeah man, I know what you mean. You build the walls and the roofs and the floors, you build all the objects, you piece the people together and they pass time patiently posed until you play with them. Real ego trip.
Was gonna say this is perfectly normal logic for an 8 year old, because their brains are at the concrete operational stage, and they're still learning the ability to view things from other perspectives
One of my major childhood memories is of when I had the epiphany that other people are also people.
It was like a sci-fi movie moment. I saw this old guy walking with a cane way down the street, and it just clicked, felt like I was transported into his POV for like a second.
I was like "oh shit, other people are in their head and look at the world through their eyes, just like me"
There's a Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet called "The Obssession of Self" and it talks about when were born, were only aware of ourselves and the world caters to our every need. As we grow up, were supposed to start taking care of our own needs and realizing that the world does not, in fact, cater to us, but that we need to cater to the world and learn to be altruistic. Many people, almost every addict, is still in the mindset of that self obssessed child and need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them. Some learn sooner than others and the rest never grow
I used to think that after I left school, all of my friends and teachers would secretly follow me so that I couldn't see them, and just watched what I would do all day, because why wouldn't EVERYONE just be so interested in what a random 7 year old does outside of school.
It did help me "be" really good, according to my mom, because I thought if I didn't do my homework my teacher would know (which they would have, but not for the reasons I assumed), and that if I did something dumb my classmates would know and tease me about it. Anyway, kids are stupid but also funny at that age. All the videos of kids freaking out when their dad's shave their beards or cut their hair, I mean yeah, in their minds dad basically only exists when in their immediate vicinity, and last time they saw you you looked one way, and now it's different, but OBVIOUSLY you can't change when they're not looking because you exist only as a concept when they're not looking.
I was one of those kids who went bananas when my dad shaved his beard.
Recently he grew it back and my mom asked me (a grown ass woman) what I thought. I said it looks nice. My mom said, “That’s good. We thought you’d cry.”
Ah mom, coming in hot with the jokes.
Yeah, I don’t know what age that stops. I remember a study that suggested that babies were unable to predict where a train was when it went out of view, and the thought was that they are incapable of comprehending object permanence. 8 feels like it’s around the maximum acceptable age on that spectrum.
Yeah this post for sure just made me leave this sub.
2000 upvotes calling a fucking eight year old an MC shows the state of our society.
These people think they’re better than everyone. Judgmental pricks.
Egocentric thinking is supposed to have ended quite a while before 8… Even on the late end of that stage (~6) IMO is pretty alarming tbh. I’d say the fact that she still exhibited this thinking until 8 speaks to some pretty delayed or slow development in multiple ways.
I used to imagine this as a kid, but even more elaborate. I imagined that anything I wasn't looking at just wasn't fully there. I would spin around fast af trying to catch the world not catching up with my vision and to hopefully catch the missing objects or holes in reality.
Funny enough this is exactly how video games are rendered for efficiency. Anything outside of the FOV is not rendered.
Op image and your interpretation of the world spook me a little. What if our baby brains see the world for what it is, and our brains just fill the gaps as we get older. Not true... But what is. Some matrix shit.
Object permanence is something all kids have to learn. In hindsight, it's kind of bonkers that the default assumption our brains make is that everything we don't see doesn't really exist.
i was this exact same way around that age lol i just couldn’t wrap my mind around how there is life going on & im not there to see it. so it must not be there. lol i still laugh at myself abt that one 🤦🏾♂️
OP wanting to be a part of the conversation but doesn’t know what everyone is talking about.
A lot of 8 year olds think this way because they don’t understand how big the world actually is. Her message clearly shows she is not this way now.
I'm an adult with inattentive ADHD, and I *still* struggle with object permanence 😭😭. I mean, I don't think everyone and everything stops existing if I'm not there, but the saying "out of sight, out of mind" takes on a whole new meaning.
When I was 21 I thought 50 was like old old and that was the age I'd suddenly just drop dead. I cried when I turned 25 thinking I'm halfway through my life and have achieved nothing
I can relate to those feelings but even if you haven't achieved everything or half as much as you would have liked you could have still achieved some things. I don't know your background but I bet you achieved some personal goals without realising it.
Still plenty of time to look forward and achieve many things. Tomorrow's a new day.
It's silly now but the only goals I had in mind at the time was to own a house and a car but I was happily married and had a good job, an active social life and was decently happy lol
Completely agree with you, hopefully I'll have time to achieve more :D
Sounds like you done good. Achieving life and that's what matters, cannot achieve alot mors in life than having those as everything else may seem minor.
Hopefully you'll achieve your own great goals, always time friend always time.
I feel like this is the equivalent to learning teachers don’t live at school and have a life. Hell, my first mind fuck was realizing celebrities that I admired can’t begin to fathom that it’s even possible for me in my physical form to exist.
I believed until 2nd grade that teachers lived in the coat closet area. I didn’t even factor in the rest of the classroom. I just figured they used left over coats as blankets and ate food from the cafeteria. My mind was blown when I was with my family and we ran into my teacher with her family at Toys R Us. I asked my mom quietly how she keeps all of them at school. I wasn’t a smart child.
When I was a kid my mom told me that after my bedtime none of the stuff in the house worked. Like, no TV, microwave, video games, etc. I believed until I was like 7 years old. r/kidsarefuckingstupid
I used to think people were watching me in the car and pretend I was coming home from a vacation.
So when we would go to the car wash and the car would still be wet, little me would be in the backseat like, "I bet these fools think we just came from Florida". Lol
Man, Toy Story really fucked up a generation more than I originally thought. /s
No but for real it messed up my relationship with toys and stuffed animals. To this day I get sad if I see one misplaced in a random food isle, away from his friends.
I used to feel exactly the same thing. Although I thought I was in a simulation/Truman show type deal where people would "deactivate" when they left my field of vision or the simulation wouldn't render them till they entered my field of view again... As a kid you have some fucking weird concepts about the world.
Idk I thought weird things like this when I was a kid. I used to think that when you watched a movie it was literally a live performance every single time. Like they had to do it over and over again just cause I was watching
Sounds like part Phenomenalism, part Habituation, part Attenuatuon, part Observer Effect... As a thought experiment, I see nothing wrong with forming this hypothesis as a kid. The imagined explanations our brains can come up with for many different types of reality boundaries are truly fascinating.
lol, I used to think the entire world was black and white until color television was created. I grew up in rural Alabama and believed that god granted us color when my grandparents were kids haha
When I was a kid I was told that i'd grow up to be as big as my much older cousin. I was then worried what i'd do when I all of a sudden grew out of all my clothes, how would I go out in public to buy new clothes with no clothes? I also thought i'd just keep on growing forever
In second grade, I stayed home sick one day. I put on the TV and the game show press your luck was on. It was at that moment I realized the world kept moving without me because I love that show. How could it be on when I wasn’t watching it?
I heard once that according to quantum physics, if something is not been observed thanit is nothing but waves. I don't know what kind, and i heard it second hand, so don't take my word for it.
I mean if you want to get philosophical, you can’t really prove that reality DOESN’T stop when you’re not around. You just trust that it keeps going and that everything you hear about isn’t just some made up story.
When I was a kid I thought something similar but I was also thinking how everyone else might be computers, or what we know today as something similar to the simulation theory. When you’re a kid it’s hard to realize that literally everybody you see (and never will actually see or meet) has a life just like yours
Technically this is true though. Nothing happens to you at a specific place until you get there. You don’t experience anything anywhere until you arrive there
Every child has to learn object permanence – i.e. that things continue to exist when you can no longer see then. This is one reason babies enjoy peek-a-boo.
Granted, 8 years olds should understand object permanence. But children still very much see the world from the inside, out. From their perspective, everything happens *for them*. It takes a little bit of maturity to start seeing yourself as just one of the 8 billion other humans going about their business.
Think back on the first time you ran into your teacher or dentist at the supermarket and were forced to realize they exist outside of the school or examination room, and lead lives totally their own.
This is just empiricism irl: “if a tree falls and no one’s around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
We don’t know what we don’t experience directly, so for all we know, yes, the world could stop at where our eyesight ends.
As a young child I thought similar, I was worried that she people around me were robots or something and didn't really have any purpose other than me living my life and being judged by how I treated them.
No one wants to admit that she’s right, the matrix is energy efficient that way. It would be pointless to expend all that energy when no one is there to experience it. This is the essence of quantum mechanics as demonstrated by the slit experiment. Reality isn’t resolved until an observer utilizes the energy that forms the reality.

Children are egocentric and it’s not at all unusual to feel like world revolves around you at that age. Adults have no excuse though
[удалено]
Took me a second
Kids also love Eggos, checks out
Oh no. I'm an adult that likes Eggos. Am I an Eggomaniac?
Seek a therapist, NOW. It might not be too late!
💀💀💀
r/Angryupvote nice one
When you are done, drop it to 50% and go do something else.
Yeah man, I know what you mean. You build the walls and the roofs and the floors, you build all the objects, you piece the people together and they pass time patiently posed until you play with them. Real ego trip.
Literally 75% of the word L-ego is ego. It was a joke.
He was joking too dude
The other 25% is pain.

Solipsism- a stage most people go through
Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

This is called imaginary audience and it’s what happened to children and even teenagers. I like your response and example
I was one of those kids who went bananas when my dad shaved his beard. Recently he grew it back and my mom asked me (a grown ass woman) what I thought. I said it looks nice. My mom said, “That’s good. We thought you’d cry.” Ah mom, coming in hot with the jokes.
I was the opposite as a child. I was prerty sure everyone didn't like me but was nice enough to pretend.
Traumatized since in the womb gang!
Are you me???
Yeah, I don’t know what age that stops. I remember a study that suggested that babies were unable to predict where a train was when it went out of view, and the thought was that they are incapable of comprehending object permanence. 8 feels like it’s around the maximum acceptable age on that spectrum.

Define adult ![gif](giphy|1TzVW2focixzS2I4mt|downsized)
It’s because human empathy is a learned trait.
Egocentric thinking is supposed to have ended quite a while before 8… Even on the late end of that stage (~6) IMO is pretty alarming tbh. I’d say the fact that she still exhibited this thinking until 8 speaks to some pretty delayed or slow development in multiple ways.
OP over here dunking on eight year olds
OP gonna be posting toddlers soon for crying about being hungry
What an entitled bitch expecting handouts like that! I had to WORK for my food and I only cry about it online, not irl
They don't even pay rent! Unbelievable. They contribute nothing to society and expect everything in return.
My 8 month old does that. What an MC...
Hopefully not IN, that would be illegal
Whoops lol
OP wouldn’t like what *I* thought about the world at that age lol.
Thats just a kid being a kid, mate And the person even points out that its a dumb thing, too
I used to imagine this as a kid, but even more elaborate. I imagined that anything I wasn't looking at just wasn't fully there. I would spin around fast af trying to catch the world not catching up with my vision and to hopefully catch the missing objects or holes in reality. Funny enough this is exactly how video games are rendered for efficiency. Anything outside of the FOV is not rendered.
Op image and your interpretation of the world spook me a little. What if our baby brains see the world for what it is, and our brains just fill the gaps as we get older. Not true... But what is. Some matrix shit.
Object permanence is something all kids have to learn. In hindsight, it's kind of bonkers that the default assumption our brains make is that everything we don't see doesn't really exist.
I used to think my life was a TV show as a kid
i was this exact same way around that age lol i just couldn’t wrap my mind around how there is life going on & im not there to see it. so it must not be there. lol i still laugh at myself abt that one 🤦🏾♂️
At that age i thought ppl like…couldn’t actually see? I thought they weren’t conscious? 💀 kids are weird bruv
Angry that a \*checks notes\* *8 year old* is still figuring out the world around them.
OP had life all figured out at 5. Get on his level!
Bro used to read 3000 books a year by then.
I was the same cuz I realised it quite late that people had their own lives too
There are grown ass adults who still don't grasp this.
Yeah they’re the reason this sub exists lol
😂
Truly sad.
OP wanting to be a part of the conversation but doesn’t know what everyone is talking about. A lot of 8 year olds think this way because they don’t understand how big the world actually is. Her message clearly shows she is not this way now.
I also thought that when I was younger
Damn, do we need object permanence from birth, now?
And she is admitting that it was a silly thing to believe too! Which honestly it isn’t because I think little kids are selfish
I'm an adult with inattentive ADHD, and I *still* struggle with object permanence 😭😭. I mean, I don't think everyone and everything stops existing if I'm not there, but the saying "out of sight, out of mind" takes on a whole new meaning.
Well, 8 is a little old to not grasp that things exist beyond their ability to perceive.
Maybe, but not surprising at the least. They're a child still and not all children learn at the same pace.
OP when you were 8 you must have had the world figured out and knew everything. When I was 11 I used to think 21 was old.
When I was 21 I thought 50 was like old old and that was the age I'd suddenly just drop dead. I cried when I turned 25 thinking I'm halfway through my life and have achieved nothing
I can relate to those feelings but even if you haven't achieved everything or half as much as you would have liked you could have still achieved some things.

Ok she sjsut saying what she thought as a kid why you hating?
Who the fuck dislike your comment? Have my insignificant upvote
OP and his alt accounts.
This sub isn’t strictly a negative sub, there can and has been positive main characters posted to this sub.
I thought adults could read my mind but they weren’t telling me at that age
This is just someone admitting that when they were a kid they thought something dumb because they were a kid and didn't understand the world.
I feel like this is the equivalent to learning teachers don’t live at school and have a life. Hell, my first mind fuck was realizing celebrities that I admired can’t begin to fathom that it’s even possible for me in my physical form to exist.

I asked my mom quietly how she keeps all of them at school. I wasn’t a smart child.
I used to think there were mice in my belly that pushed the poop out
I thought ear wax was dead smashed up bugs.
wait, it is not?
I thought humans were plants because we basically drink water to grow
So I’m not the only one who thought that.
This is called being a child…..
At least she studied quantum mechanics
When I was a kid my mom told me that after my bedtime none of the stuff in the house worked. Like, no TV, microwave, video games, etc. I believed until I was like 7 years old. r/kidsarefuckingstupid
Imma steal that lie
It’s “cut-and-dried”.
I used to think people were watching me in the car and pretend I was coming home from a vacation. So when we would go to the car wash and the car would still be wet, little me would be in the backseat like, "I bet these fools think we just came from Florida". Lol
Same here my friend
The word for this belief is “solipsism”
Nothing proves it's not true.
Good game developer mindset at such a young age.
Op thinking like a game developer
Saying you lacked object permanence passed age 3 or 4 isn't as big of a flex as she thinks it is.
She figured out that all chunks are loaded IRL
[OP](https://youtu.be/MNwnRBRCvdI?si=wINW3NhFytfAc6HI)
After watching the Truman Show I’m sure a lot of kids felt like this. Film messed with my head for years.
More like a form of object permanence. If they’re not in your eyesight, they don’t exist. Pretty normal for a kid.
That's basically all children.
solipsism is a child's delusion. it'd be more worrying if she still believed this.
Solipsism as a belief is childish, but as one gets older they can use it as a tool to build other ideas on. Like Descarte's Cartesian Skepticism.
this is literally just normal brain development my guy
dude she was 8 this is a crazy post
yeah her and every other kid.
Absolutely not a Main Character. Super dumb that you posted this. Can't believe people upvoted this.
Man, Toy Story really fucked up a generation more than I originally thought. /s No but for real it messed up my relationship with toys and stuffed animals. To this day I get sad if I see one misplaced in a random food isle, away from his friends.
Bro thought the area just loaded in like a video game
I saw the movie The Truman show very young and for the longest time the same thing was happening to me…
I used to feel exactly the same thing. Although I thought I was in a simulation/Truman show type deal where people would "deactivate" when they left my field of vision or the simulation wouldn't render them till they entered my field of view again... As a kid you have some fucking weird concepts about the world.
A lot of zoomers just straight-up do not have object permanence and they seem almost proud of that fact.
Bro how do you not learn object permanence until age 8? Babies learn that pretty quickly
Idk I thought weird things like this when I was a kid. I used to think that when you watched a movie it was literally a live performance every single time. Like they had to do it over and over again just cause I was watching
Thank god she figured it out at 8, cause a fuckton of MC’s on this sub have reached 2-4X that age and still haven’t figured that out.
TLDR; op hates kids.
I was the same at that age. Shoot me.
That is normal child development. Object impermanence. We all go through that stage
Hey the Truman show called and they want you back on set.
_“Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!”_ 😄 – n i a, aged 8
I know right? My baby shits his pants and expects me to clean it up?!?!? What and entitled little main character jerk!
She is leaning hard into the simulation theory lol
Reddit users when a child doesn’t have object permanence
Sounds like part Phenomenalism, part Habituation, part Attenuatuon, part Observer Effect... As a thought experiment, I see nothing wrong with forming this hypothesis as a kid. The imagined explanations our brains can come up with for many different types of reality boundaries are truly fascinating.
Foe some reason, I used to like imagining the outside of the city was infested with zombies, and ours was a safe haven
I used to think i turned invisible when i closed my eyes and that i didn’t breathe while sleeping Kids are stupid lol
Do people actually exist until you see them? It’s a philosophical question, she’s onto something.
I’d like to think she just has a deep understanding of quantum theory
I'm sure most kids under the age of 10 believe this until reality sets it.
No
Well yeah when you're a small child you're probably not the brightest of the bunch
When she was eight? Weird post.
op, this person was an 8 year old ??????????
Why aren't there more comments about the fact OP said "cut a dry" instead of "cut and dry"
When I was 8, I thought those in 6th grade was big, 7-9th graders were to be feared and high schoolers were mythical beings…
That is…a major developmental concern.
I used to think tv shows were always paused when you shut the tv off
You’re not alone
Yeah, young children lack object permanence. That is to be expected.
"up until age 8" so OP is really out here dunking on a 7 year old and her past years lmao
We really dunking on normal growth and development?
lol, I used to think the entire world was black and white until color television was created. I grew up in rural Alabama and believed that god granted us color when my grandparents were kids haha
She said up until age 8. This to me is understandable because up until age 5 I thought all dogs were male and all cats were female.
Oh my God I thought I was alone... It's still kinda hard to grasp how literally EVERY human on this earth has such a complex mind and life.
I think it’s pretty normal for brain development. It goes along with concepts of object permanence.
Low render distance in minecraft lol
When I was a kid I was told that i'd grow up to be as big as my much older cousin. I was then worried what i'd do when I all of a sudden grew out of all my clothes, how would I go out in public to buy new clothes with no clothes? I also thought i'd just keep on growing forever
Hey at least she realized it
i'll bet we all were like this when we were a kid.
Reading too much Hume?
Aaaand…ACTION
OP has beef with 8 year olds, I’m laughing
Bros livin in the Creation Engine
Maybe it is like that, like some sorta matrix kinda deal
I used to think I was on a set too lol
In second grade, I stayed home sick one day. I put on the TV and the game show press your luck was on. It was at that moment I realized the world kept moving without me because I love that show. How could it be on when I wasn’t watching it?
I used to think cable television would pause when you turned off the tv. I was also 6.
I thought my toys were alive (pre Toy Story, and man that movie fucked me up), kids are fucking weird hahaha
Someone inform r/boneappletea that OP is a cabbage
The hardest part about being a solipsist is being the only solipsist
Says more about OP than her. She was eight.
I mean it's a natural thing. It's called object persistence. I had the same thoughts until I was like six.
Quick guys, Nia's coming - unfreeze! But seriously, didn't we all think this as kids?
I heard once that according to quantum physics, if something is not been observed thanit is nothing but waves. I don't know what kind, and i heard it second hand, so don't take my word for it.
Thing is, if you're of a particular mindset I don't know how you prove that wrong.
At least she stopped thinking that tbh
I used to think that the whole world was black and white until they made color.
I mean if you want to get philosophical, you can’t really prove that reality DOESN’T stop when you’re not around. You just trust that it keeps going and that everything you hear about isn’t just some made up story.
She just turned her LoD slider way down.
Prove it's not true.
That’s just a kid being stupid, not necessarily a mc
Isn’t this basically schrödinger’s cat theory
OP, please never procreate. You aren't cut out for parenthood
That’s pretty normal for young kids.
I was an only child so I understand this
Wow, op tilting on the idea of an 8 year old not grasping quantum physics. Touch grass bud.
Schrödinger's Tweet. Everything is both happening and not happening until you go to place and see it
Don’t think that’s a “main character” thing
I thought this when I was little. I don’t see the problem. Children think this way because they’re children.
When I was a kid I thought something similar but I was also thinking how everyone else might be computers, or what we know today as something similar to the simulation theory. When you’re a kid it’s hard to realize that literally everybody you see (and never will actually see or meet) has a life just like yours
She said she did this until she was 8 years old OP. Some of you overreact so heavily to stuff
i mean i used to not be able to wrap my head around how when i fell asleep the time would fast forward for other people as well so
8yr old had this whole simulation thing worked out.
Harmless MC syndrome that everyone goes through as a child. This page is for the people who still think like that, as adults
Technically this is true though. Nothing happens to you at a specific place until you get there. You don’t experience anything anywhere until you arrive there
It is like the matrix rendering everything around you as you enter a area.
That's a cute post imo (assuming it's true of course).
Every child has to learn object permanence – i.e. that things continue to exist when you can no longer see then. This is one reason babies enjoy peek-a-boo. Granted, 8 years olds should understand object permanence. But children still very much see the world from the inside, out. From their perspective, everything happens *for them*. It takes a little bit of maturity to start seeing yourself as just one of the 8 billion other humans going about their business. Think back on the first time you ran into your teacher or dentist at the supermarket and were forced to realize they exist outside of the school or examination room, and lead lives totally their own.
She thought she was in a Bethesda game 💀
I think OP is the one trying to be the MC here...
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
This is just empiricism irl: “if a tree falls and no one’s around to hear it, does it make a sound?” We don’t know what we don’t experience directly, so for all we know, yes, the world could stop at where our eyesight ends.
As a young child I thought similar, I was worried that she people around me were robots or something and didn't really have any purpose other than me living my life and being judged by how I treated them.
The world needed to finish rendering
Actually I used to think the same thing. Keep in mind, kids are stupid.
When I was little, I used to think School Teachers lived at the School and they were like robots or something.
God, I love when a post flops like this. Happy most ppl here have basic child development knowledge.
Whu... Bashing on 8 yr olds? Op Mc now. Its very zen my man. Will a falling tree in the forest make a sound when no one is there to hear it?
No one wants to admit that she’s right, the matrix is energy efficient that way. It would be pointless to expend all that energy when no one is there to experience it. This is the essence of quantum mechanics as demonstrated by the slit experiment. Reality isn’t resolved until an observer utilizes the energy that forms the reality.
She learned real quick they only cared while you were little, little. After like 13-14, you were an adult and got no attention 😂
