Its not what everyone thinks, its what we think others think. most people are what they feel others think of them. internal dialog, arguing with other people in your mind about a certain situations is you trying to control your self image.

I don't think it's even possible for a person's first person perspective of him/her self to be accurate, I think you can only know who you are based on how other people see you. I'm not saying everyone else's perception of you is accurate, but that's why you need to be discerning and have a good memory, to be able to separate the accurate perceptions of others from the inaccurate perceptions of others. Obviously this means I think solipsism is nonsense.
