"Truman's Syndrome" Makes People Believe They're Starring In A Reality TV Show

Ever find yourself talking about characters in TV shows as if they’re real people? I’ll admit it, I have. But do you ever think that your life IS a reality TV show? This I cannot say that I’m guilty of, but if you are you may suffer from the newly discovered “Truman Syndrome.”

I think the reason that these people have the syndrome is because that there are WAY too many reality shows on TV right now, including VH1 and MTV which used to be music video channels. People get addicted to these programs and that's just too much for the brain to handle! I believe if all the networks should downplay the reality show craze, then our minds can feel more relaxed about escaping from their couches and into more 'adventurous' territory.

But what about the people that has been ona reality show or two? Do they feel the syndrome even when cameras aren't really around them?

I'm always talking about a TV character like they're real.
