In fact, the bullies are just like parts of your psyche projected outwards that you experience in your dream/nightmare, but they don't really have thoughts or consciousness even though it is damn convincing looking that they do. They act and behave just like the people you see in this world. |
AFAIK, nobody can prove whether subjective reality exists or not, so that's not the point here.
Subjective reality is based on the only certainty I have and that is: "I exist".
Nobody can deny that I exist ("cogito, ergo sum").
Think about it, and you must admit that there are no other certainties.
If you reject subjective reality, you believe something that is not based on a certain fact.
Instead of thinking about the consciousness of other people, it might be a good idea to search for an explanation for your own existence.
