That's because value is subjective.

Did you make a claim, or, imply this as a speculation where upon the ":shrug:" may serve as the indicator?

That we are free and we are not separate from our own meanings is 100% true. That there is no world seperate from our meanings is also true, though probably not part of existentialism. Meaninglessness is a projection, a creation of the nervous system. The nervous system is part of reality.

you seem very uncertain. richard rorty once suggested that if you want to know what is true, get a big white board and write down every sentance you can think of that you would say afterward 'that is true'...

maybe try it out sometime.

We all create our own reality so existentialism is technically the empirical truth of the human experience whether people realize it or not.


--------------------
Just when you think you're happy
I come around
I was meant to be
A punishment to you
A thorn in your side
A cancer eating through
I twist reality
And make it hard to bear
I am the only thing left
When love isn't there

Your reality is different from everyone else's reality.  I guarantee it.

You do create it.  You create your own reality.  If you didn't create your own reality, or if you didn't have the power to (which you do), everyone's reality (or their interpretation of reality) would be the same.

if i am ugly i didnt create that. if i am tall i didnt create that. if i am smart i didnt create that. what created that was my social relation to other people.

without other people those traits are meaningless.

so if our social realities are relative to one another then they would not all be the same.

(this would ultimately go for beliefs and other things too i think.)

Those traits are subjective and it is up to you if you want to accept them as valid.
