Are there elements of solipsism in Nietzsche's philosophy?

I've been reading the Genealogy of Morals lately as well as Thus Spake Zarathustra and my possibly interpretations keep leading me to believe that he had some elements of solipsism in his philosophy. So I have two questions: 1.Are there elements of solipsism in Nietzsche's philosophy? 2.How exactly does solipsism fit into Nietzsche's philosophy?

"Know thy Self" is a good maxim.If one is traumatized, to the degree one's trauma has become like the elephant in the living room, one in effect becomes solipsistic, "dream" is "Traum" auf Deutsch.Losing Father and precognitively dreaming of one's brother's death dreamatically changed FN's lifeview and lifecourse. He was no longer the "little Pastor," and exchanged brilliance in the Word for brilliance in the philological word.Then, reading Schopenhauer, FN found a Father-figure for much of his post-Christian world views. Zarathustra-Father becomes a sockpuppet for returning Truth and Wisdom to the "crippled lives" (FN, hello?).The point of the strong-willed child who suffers an overpowering loss of Father is to become a Superman, have Superfriends. A brilliant strong-willed child can do philosophy. That philosophy may reflect the bent, which has become "second nature" to the degree that it is part of the philosophic process, rather than part of the "examined life." Thus, philosophy as autopoieticism, narcissism, and/or solipsism.FN's trauma coincided with the coming European loss of Christian Father, need for values, etc., hence, he has fascinated and even provided words for many in that similar cultural dynamic.
