What is the idea that everyone in your life is a manifestation of your consciousness/personality called?

(E.g. My mom is an anxious person and a loving person so she represents my anxiety and unconditional love (my anxiety being an extension of her love))

Let me know if the concept is still unclear. There must be a name for it.

Interesting. I'll have to figure out the subcategory for what I'm describing because, IIRC, solipsism is the belief that no one else exists.

Funny enough, I "discovered" solipsism while high once. It was the 4th of July and I was with my family. I started noticing a lot of symbolism in my life and started seeing the emotions/traits/attributes that everyone in my family represents.

I represent your repressed shitty humor.

(Also, repression is bunk)

>>6260204
Not enough actually

I didn't say that I subscribe to solipsism. I just think it's an interesting notion.
