I don't see how we can define existence when we're alone. It's like moving in an everexpanding emptiness or vacuum. If you move an entire mile in that kind of space, with no starting point, did you go anywhere? No because distance implies a new destination trailing from an old starting point, but if "start" and "finish" do not exist, then distance does not exist either, even if you can physically move and you can physically measure the distance using a ruler or something.

Let me put it to you this way. Would you have any reason to identify your existence or define your existence if you were all alone? What is the purpose in having a name? Names are how we represent ourselves to others, but if there are no others, then... why do we need one? What is the point in calling yourself human? Or calling yourself a child, or adult, or an old man? How would you know what old is? Nobody would know that 80 years old is considered "old" because we're near death, because you don't have past examples of life and death to compare it to.
