In your words: "I'd like to say, nothing happens outside of your reality/experience/awareness, it is not a matter of whether it matters, because 'it' doesn't exist. Something that doesn't exist cannot 'matter' or 'not matter'. However, if you think of someone, you are aware of them, they do matter."

See that's where it all gets confusing for me. How could someone just pop out of existence when I'm not thinking of them? I've been taught that everyone exists whether I'm thinking of them or not. So, when I leave my friend's house, they continue to go on with their daily lives...or atleast that's how I've always thought of it.
