    I would never be sure that this isn’t just another season of my TV show, so, revenge or suicide. I can’t let them get another season.

    Man, hard to say. All I know is, I’d be a nervous wreck. Finding out that your whole life was a lie and all the moments that I thought were my own, especially private ones, were broadcast to the world. I would feel badly hurt and violated. So I suppose it would be one of two options, depending on my mental state:

    • I made peace with it: I would find myself in a strange and unfamiliar world. I would consider everything I’ve been taught up to this point suspect at best, so my next move would be information gathering.
    • I didn’t make peace with it: I would become a whirlwind of emotions that I can’t manage. I would be a person that had a life that never existed with friends and family who were just paid actors and to top it all off, there’s the mastermind who had no qualms putting me in such a horrific position. For ratings and money, no less. I think I would be overcome with grief, confusion and fury. As for my next move? I honestly haven’t a clue, but it wouldn’t be pretty for anyone involved.

    Just move somewhere in the global South where the show isn’t broadcast/as popular and I’d be just another white man, and try to start over?

    Probably go straight to jail.

    If the whole world has been watching my every move my entire life, then the cops have everything they need to put me away for a long time.

    That’s assuming the real world operates on even remotely the same rules as this one.

    Wait why was this recommended to me? Am I actually in the Truman show and this is some sort of hint that is telling me to break out?

    I would hunt down the people who put me in that situation and everyone who was in on it and burn them alive.
