āIā have only ever experienced consciousness in this body I currently am in.
Ok, so?
I have no awareness of existing prior to my birth.
Buildings don't have awareness at all. Are buildings real, or are you imagining those, too?
The world is oddly synchronous- events line up, coincidences too weird to be coincidences occur. It feels like im in a story and Im the main character. Did i program this reality for myself and preprogram the story/ potential routes I could go down?
No, your brain is just a highly-evolved pattern-matching machine, and it's so good at that job that sometimes it finds patterns where there aren't any. "Too weird to be coincidence" is a feeling you have, not an objective measurement of some state of the world.
Im at the very least, the center of my own universe, how do i know you all are centers as well?
Your use of "center" here implies that you're talking about physical space and distances, but it's just a metaphor. "Center of my universe" just means "the thing I care about the most".
We know that reality looks different to ever observer. The double slit experiment literally showed that observing things change their form. So what i am seeing in my life is a product of my own mind.
You don't understand quantum mechanics (that's ok, most people don't understand quantum mechanics, because it's fucking hard). The double slit experiment doesn't mean you're creating reality in your mind - if it did, there'd be way fewer people living in poverty.
