[This part will be some of my own philosophy on the topic "What does it mean to be real"]

You'd ask "What does being "real" have to do with people and connections?"

There are many ways you can describe how something is real.

For example, you might be able to touch it, taste it, see it. Examine it with all your senses...and...it might still not be real.
I can explain that with a mental illnesses like schizophrenia. People with this disorder see things and hear voices that are not real. Your mind can lie to you, and it does.

You accept as real all the people you have seen, the people you know. The rest are just a number.

Now tell me, if no one knows you, are you real?
By that logic, do you make me real by reading this? (No, no one does » I'm no one here.)

Is my logic flawed? Why?
