Could you please explain “metaphysical statement” if you have the time / energy? I googled the definition but I don’t think I understand.

I have quite a bit of circumstantial evidence, considering that people I know still talk to me. >

You are an experimental subject.
You don’t have any proof that when you speak subtitles appear below you in Finnish. >

I can confirm that we Finns can read anybody’s mind by reading the Finnish subtitles >

Onko se totta? >

Totisinta totta. >

Opin joka päivä jotain uutta!! >

When i was a kid, i would try to randomly yell in my own head to see if i surprised any mind-readers, and i never saw any signs of it >

Completely different.... But when I was younger in school, I'd fake yawn. I'd then look around and see if anyone else yawned in hopes to catch someone staring at me. >

That’s one of the greatest applications of people mimicking yawns I’ve ever heard of. >

I yawned just reading this >

Not the first time I’ve heard that about something I’ve written. >

They must be incredibly good at acting, I get surprised by my own thoughts and burst into laughter or wince depending on what it is, also nobody has booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist yet. >

Yeah I do this ...i think of things and burst out laughing..luckily now people think you're on your phone >

I do that. I place hilarious random thoughts on people's heads to watch then laugh out loud. >

If they can, they're hiding it really well. Because if I said what I'm thinking it would bother people. >

It’s fine. We’re used to you by now. Honestly your thoughts are just background noise to everyone at this point. We hear you thinking random chatter and we typically tune it out. 
I’ve heard it’s harder to tune out if someone is actually talking to you but clearly so far you haven’t noticed at all. >

You don't have any proof that there isn't a monster under your bed. >

What if I dont have a bed? Then where is the monster hiding? >

Behind you! >

Well as long as he stays there that's fine >

If you all didn’t react to what I’m always thinking then you’re sick. >

Considering I still have some friends (regardless of my level of intoxication), nobody has strongly suggested therapy, and I haven't been arrested, I'd say the odds are well in my favor that nobody is reading my thoughts. >

Generally speaking, you don't have proof of things that don't exist, it works the other way around. >

It's called a metaphysical statement.
