I had a theory that maybe this was my universe- it sprang into being with me, and it'll only last as long as I'm here.

Wrong or not, all your life you'll meet people who believe that theory for themselves, very quietly.
It’s not actually inconsistent for “your” universe to be full of illusory people who have the same idea as you. Even if you’re the only one who’s right. (You’re not, of course; if either of us is, it’s me. Cogito ergo sum – “I think, therefore it adds up”. But who am I to shatter your illusions?)
