Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum.
But how can I know you exist? - By mistaking, or by not mistaking (referring to you).
How can I know an object exists? Well it is quite easy, if the force of that object is exercised against (on) you then you will feel that force so this means it exists. This means it is not a hallucination from your own subconscious.

I cannot prove to you that I exist, because I have no doubt about it and therefore no remedy for any doubtfulness that I might share with you as a response to your question. However, I can give you just as much a clue about my existence as much I could have about yours. The fact I have in my view is that when you are not sure about things you investigate, and you seek certainty when you are not certain, but when you know something for sure, or absolutely, you need not carry a proof or search for one, therefore when you do not need a proof, you do not have one, and thus you cannot produce it either for others. I am the proof as I am of my own existence as there could be none better neither in person and nor in words. I am so much of myself that beyond the bounds of this argument I could not be anything else – it just as you could not have known me without having a momentary laps in your being, in what you have always been so far. I don't know ... what proof!

I cannot prove that I exist as a soul;
Online I only virtually exist;
The only real thing that can exist is the body
when body touches body each prove their own physical existances

Since you seem that you don't exist and I get doubts that I exist, that is apparently saying that we both exist. It is coming from 2 points of view which exist, and apparently, we exist!
A negative+ a negative = a positive.
I sometimes wake up in the morning wondering if I'm alive.

I'm an electronic thinking machine with microchips, circuits, processors, and I think I've got a power cable stuck up my a**e. I might be connected to a mouse (go figure!), and apparently I've got some buttons, and I might be connected to something called a screen.
As one electronic thinking machine to another, and don't tell the humans this, I think they talk bollocks sometimes.

That isn't my problem. Since you made the request, you already believe that we exist in order to answer the question. Otherwise, you are asking delusions to respond to a question.
You clearly have a belief that we exist, or you would need to doubt the empirical evidence that is provided by your sensory inputs. You cannot see me, but you still believed that "someone" was out there.
For you to ask the question has nothing to do with "I think therefore I am", but that you already believe that you exist. At this point, I don't know if you are perceiving reality or fantasy.
Reality has a specific meaning for us as a species. Reality is based on the empirical. This is how we distinguish between dreams and reality. Or fantasy and reality.
For all you know, a computer bot could have written this response, or a person wrote it. As you did not witness it and cannot rely on your senses for the input to confirm or deny the information, you are not basing my response on reality.
I reverse it. You prove to me that I exist. Prove to me that you are not hallucinating or imagining my existence.

I understand your question. But I canot prove it. Many philosophies state that actually we do Not exist but merely a idea created by thought.
