No, I'm saying there is no test I can think of. I can't know what it "feels like", if anything, to be someone else.
I can only say that the situation where only I experience things seems absurd, and extremely contrived like you say.
Get a load of this:

I take the pragmatic approach that what appears most likely is probably true, since I can't directly investigate further.
Of course, there's the question of whether "I" am experiencing anything either, or what that even means. Fucked if I know. I'm too caught up in it to view it objectively.
