Hell Is other People - Jean Satre
True, but there are other states that are only possible for the individual, one of them is achievement, when an individual accomplishes something by themselves it boosts their sense of self-worth.
In this sense there are emotions that only function when there are two or more parties, however, there is also another range of emotions that occur as a result of the individual's actions.
In both cases, these emotions can be positive or negative, there are plenty of negative emotions that only operate when there is more than one person interacting, and there are other negative emotions that occur to individuals only.
Because concepts and words are at the forefront (mind) it may seem that living requires discrimination. Life is just happening. The realization of this does not stop life happening.

Oh my... It's okay, got a nice little circle for yourself, keep it, I don't mind. If you one day want to break through, you will remember the feeling you have when you read this: indignant.
My dignity is not injured - that is in your mind. How has my answers proved you right? Again that is in your mind.

in-dignant. Has the word dignity in it, means actually: injured your dignity. And your answers proved me right.
More of what is arising in your mind.
Of course you always have to relate what you experience to a frame, for orienatation and stuff, otherwise it happens what obviously has happened to you: you get entirely lost and lonely.
