Even if I am reborn. Without the same memories, experiences, and thoughts, how can I be me?

Likely my experiences and memories make me me. If right now that got erased, no matter the same appearance or same body, I will never be me. Right?

    This was really helpful and redirected my thoughts down a different path. I need more free time to even think about this. Humanity and existence are more complex than I thought.

    So everyone we see and we interact with is actually us in different levels of consciousness or knowledge about everything, even people with completely different mentalities.

    Most of the time I try to imagine myself in other people’s lives. Like, what if I am an orphan or a beggar? As a beggar, if I get ill, how do I treat myself, etc.? Will they allow me in hospitals? And all the thoughts end in uncomfortable ways about life. When I talk about this to others, they don’t like this at all and ignore me completely.

    Don’t know why, but I am refusing to be like others and continue to follow these weird thoughts. Currently I am completely alone, and my thoughts have become powerful enough that they can’t be changed anymore.
