you don't know

Answer 10

Simple, you don't. There is no way of knowing. Don't let it worry you, just pick an answer, aka i do exist or i don't exist, then leave the subject alone. men have been driven insane by this question, or have wasted their live trying to find an answer, and gotten no closer.

Answer 11

Humans are a small piece of "matter" and "matter" takes up space, so you exist because your body takes up a small piece of space.  

Answer 12

well some people say "i think therefore i am".... but i don't think that you can KNOW that you exist.... i mean, what is "i" and what does it mean to exist? we tend to experience subjectively and the nature of our mind is for the subjective experience to be limited and largely a self created illusion...  there is no way of knowing without going out of your mind.... and who knows how you can know once your mind is lost?! you can only attempt to know nothing..... and try and be aware of, explore, enjoy each moment as a fresh, new experience.x*x (and in answer to all questions... it's probably wisest just to say "i DON'T know")

Answer 13

I think, therefore I am. Regardless of if or my senses are lying to me, or if we are in some comsitic game, I think, and therefore I am.

Since I think, therefore I exist in some form or other. Whether the world is real, or a set up by aileans or some other, I probably will never know.

Answer 14

of course you do,you typed this didn't you ?you feel things don't you?you exist.

Answer 15

You asked this question didn't you? :-p

No, I understand what you're saying. Like, how do you know you're not some crazy trapped in a padded room, and your entire life is just in your head? And when you "talk" to people you're just talking to yourself? How do we know we aren't living out some thing's big long dream? Or something's barbie doll game?

They're cool questions to think about, but delving too deep into them is scary. Regardless of whether your existence is true or not, be happy that you get to experience it. :-)

P.S. You might get better luck if you put this question in like philosophy or psychology or something....Just a suggestion~ :-)
