A person's existence is made up of what others think about the person and how the person relates to them. There is hardly anything else to make up the existence for the person. You are just a collection of perceptions about you, and your relations with the world. Even your money and assets are only as a valuable as seen by the world around you. You look trendy and stylish only because you align with the trends of the place and time. Your physical fitness is meaningful only at your place and time. A village woman in a third world can outlive many gym goers of the Western world.

There is nothing else left to be considered as your absolute existence outside of how you relate with the world.

Have you no interior life at all? Nothing that matters to you even if nobody else knows or cares that it does?

This is one of the bleakest, most discouraging comments I think I've ever read, and it's hard for me (in a sad way) to believe anyone might actually mean it.

There is nothing bleak or discouraging in what I said. This is true for even inanimate things on Earth or in the Universe. There is hardly any absolute existence of anything. Try to describe an alien life form. All your description is nothing but list of relations between that life from and things that you know about on the Earth. Things like, size, color, weight, shape - everything is a relation to some referential unit or frame. Things come into existence by relating themselves to the already existing worldly things.

If a thing can't be described, it simply doesn't exist.
