    In your opinion, does the phrase “I am the universe” come across as narcissistic?

    Just curious about your thoughts.

    Ah yeah… you are literally saying you are everything. Like I am a part of the universe and you are me? I tend to think of myself as an autonomous being and do not depend on you for my existence.

    Unless you mean it in a hippie new age kind of way that “we are all one” or something.

    Not trying to be snarky that just my take on what it sounds like.

    No context = No meaning.

    Not enough info to make this or any conclusion.

    Solipsistic is the correct word for that feeling.

    I am subject to something that is infinitely present. But I am humble enough to realise it is ultimately unknowable in this life.
