real people

So strange to realize the fact that some people just...arent...real. I mean they exist and live, but as far as being actual living breathing human beings, it just seems like there are empty shells walking along..no personality, noone to really care about, they just exist for the sake of existing. I wonder how people get to be that way. I remember when I was young, I watched some scary cartoon movie. Or it could have been a dream I had once, or maybe a scary movie that I subsequently had a dream about. anyways, at one point in this movie/dream/both, I remember people turning into stone and become part of a wall, because of some evil force or something..and I think these individuals are kind of like that. they have turned to stone because of something in their life that has negatively impacted their reality. I dunno, maybe they think they're living for real, but I think its not exactly like that. Anyways, just a random thought
