Solipsism
The word solipsism (Latin: solus, alone + ipse, self) is used for two related yet distinct concepts:
An epistemological position that one's own perceptions are the only things that can be known with certainty. The nature of the external world — that is, the source of one's perceptions — therefore cannot be conclusively known; it may not even exist. This is also called external world skepticism.
A metaphysical belief that the universe is entirely the creation of one's own mind. Thus, in a sense, the belief that nothing 'exists' outside of one's own mind.

There are only three cars in the car park today.
This makes me happy. Although cars do still come to try to park, can't, do 37-point turns, look bemused, try to use sign language with me through my office window, then drive off when I flamboyantly shrug and make a "like I care" face.

Solipsism? Hmmm... that sounds like a particularly cromulent word to me.
