When I was REALLY young, I used to think something similar. I'd look out the window at houses I could see in the distance and think that they were just false fronts put there for my benefit like on a movie studio. When I went to a shop, everyone else there were just actors, totally put there for my benefit, and when I returned home the store was empty until I returned.

I felt this really strongly for a while when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Then it passed. I think it's part of the brain coming to terms with the fact that you yourself are NOT the absolute center of the universe, and not everything revolves around you.

The computer simulation part does not come into play though, but thats cause back then I had no concept of computers as they didn't really exist outside of a room sized machine on tv with flashing lights, printing out a long strip of 'paper till roll' with info on that could only be understood by scientists in white coats...
