Solipsism

"A persons value to me is only what I give them therefore I choose that no one will ever be above me"

This isn't solipsism. This is just being emotionally healthy. Solipsism can be thought of by a conversation I had with a friend who went on some dumb hippy retreat. And returned believing his "consciousness" could effect the outcome of a lottery.... Why did he believe this? Solipsism.

Solipsism would include what you describe, but what you describe isn't only for it. You're just becoming more emotionally healthy.

i never really understood the manosphere's beef with solipsism.

its scientifically 'rational' because you can not prove things 100% untrue: you can only prove things more right than the other.

I think solipsism is moreso the belief that you are God

Is this a good example of female "Solipsism?":

I learned many years ago not to ever express feeling depressed, upset, worried, etc about anything to my wife, because ultimately all it did was make her angry with me. Why did it make her angry? Because, as I learned, she does not really care a rat's ass for me about how I might be feeling, rather what she really cares about is how the way I might be feeling affects her & her world-bubble.

Does that make sense to anyone?

(Advice to single guys from an old married guy .... never "talk" with your girl about your problems or feelings, it'll only make her mad or lower you in her eyes.)

You're using a philosophical approach to solipsism; which is good if it helps you, but can hurt you if you fail to consider that you don't live in a vacuum when interacting with a person, and all what you do and say to them can have a fallout on your interactions with other people. However, if you assume that this fallout won't happen (because your actions weren't offensive enough or you weren't important enough to be a topic of discussion), shielding yourself from the pain of rejection by simply ultimately considering the opinion of the rejector to be of little to no importance may help you on your way.

BAD BAD BAD BAD.

You should not give a fuck as much as possible. But you should realize other people are people, but that they make choices and are responsible for them.

I think there is a self preserving element of morality.

However, in order for morality to be applied constructively to one's life, the ability to see and comprehend truth is paramount.

Sometimes reality gets warped inside of a bubble. You need some transcendence to know truth.
