How can I prove my own existence when you can't prove your own? So if I don't exist, how can I have the consciousness to think back of your own existence, and know that you don't exist in the first place, but if I don't exist, than how can I be typing this? And if you don't exist, than how can you type I can reply, therefore, I exist.

That's not proof. You're going off the assumption you are real before looking for facts, as compared to the opposite, as it's supposed to be.
-
But if I don't exist, then how can you see me? Touch me? Hear me? Unless of course those are nonexistent too.
-
That's like saying how is a hallucinatory oasis in the desert not real if you see it? And I haven't touched you or smelled you or heard you or tasted you.
-
No you haven't, physically, but through my typings, you gain a personality on the other side, do you not?
-
A personality which I could've thought up for an imaginary person, or a hallucination taking on the personality of a person I may not remember but know deep inside my memory.
-
But then how could you know you're imagining it?
-
I don't. I must assume as I cannot prove your existence.
