Blog #4 Truman Syndrome

Truman Syndrome is a Disorder in which the victims believe wholeheartedly that they are the unapproving participants of a reality show or film. The term was first used after the film The Truman Show came out. I guess people saw it and started thinking that what they saw was true and that it applied to their life. I think that some people might believe they are in a television show because some things that happen in real life are to hard for them to comprehend. Let’s say a person’s mother dies they might be hurting so bad that the only way to dull the pain is to say to themselves that it isn’t real. This is just an example im not saying this is the case in everyone of the people that suffer from this disorder but the truth is it would be very difficult to find out why these people think the way they do. I found the information about the Truman Syndrome on CNN.com. I think this is a trustworthy source because it is a legitimate news site. I don’t think the writer/s of the article would risk their reputation by posting something false
