Anyone else ever feel detached from reality? Ever feel like a solipsist?

Can we prove there is an external reality? We can't really, all we can prove is "I think, therefor I am."

The irony here is I may be talking to myself, in my own made up world.

Now the self would want to keep intact the idea of an external reality, so if I get more responses that are for that, then that may weigh more heavily toward solipsism for me. If many agree, then maybe there is an external reality. Although just telling myself that ruined that experiment....

Ummmm. All we experience is in our own mind. All our senses come down to brain mechanisms and wiring. Even if there is a true external reality then we each must view it quite differently. Makes me wonder if the color purple is purple to you.

Its kind of like a crazy person asking himself if he's crazy and another voice from thin air says "Naw, you're as sane as I" hehe.
