Cases of 'Truman Show' delusions on the rise as more people believe they're the stars of their own reality TV programs

Reality TV shows are making increasing numbers of people convinced that they're the stars of their own, unwanted television programs.

Psychiatrists are treating more people for so-called 'Truman Show' delusions -- named after the 1998 movie starring Jim Carrey as a man who spends his entire life unwittingly at the center of a fictional world that's being broadcast to millions of homes.

The startling cases often afflict successful people who develop paranoid fantasies that they're being filmed at all times and that the world that's in front of them isn't real.

I feel bad because I didn't get my own show.  :(



just because one is not paranoid doesn't mean that one is not "a man who spends his entire life unwittingly at the center of a fictional world that's being broadcast to millions of homes."

That 'my friend' theme was done to death in the 60's and 70's: 'My friend the _____'. Fill in the blank. Ghost, car, dog, cockatoo, martian......

Ooooooooh.... I don't get it.
Does this have something to do with 'My Friend Flicka', the 1941 novel by Mary O'Hara, about Ken McLaughlin, the son
of a Wyoming rancher, and his horse Flicka; which was made into a film in 1943 and then into a TV series in 1956?

it doesn't occur to these people that reality shows don't even try to hide the cameras?
or are they just walking around manhattan or the center of london and see all the cameras?
