Interesting article in this month's Monitor online about what might be
"a culturally based manifestation of psychotic thinking: the belief that
one is the star of a reality TV show. Some people particularly identify
with the protagonist in the 1998 film "The Truman Show," in which Truman
Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, discovers his entire life has been
fabricated by the media and he is the unwitting center of a reality TV
show."

I've had a variant of that delusion. Sometimes I find myself in
a room full of young adults and they are writing down whatever I say.
