The existence of another is not a questionable fact, believes there is an experience in which the other is present to us in a certain, and we do this not as an object but as a subject as subjectivity, his freedom, his ratings, his projects. The most important experience of other is what Sartre calls the look: when one looks at us he does not grasp at an object, not an object from which nothing can be feared or to be used by us without consequences, we capture that look after there is a subjectivity. There is a protagonist of looking, a being of the things you expect (complicity, solidarity, pleasure, understanding, conflict, obstacles to our purposes ...). The other's gaze makes us aware of ourselves as the one we objectively, this brings about feelings of fear, shame and pride, fear of the possibility of being exploited by the other, embarrassed to be demonstrating our pride in capturing ourselves as subjects. Shame is an experience, and as all experience is intentional, means something, and in this case, yourself, feel ashamed of who we are. In shame is a certain duplication of actors: is shame of oneself, but of oneself to be seen by another, is therefore one of the most important expressions of intersubjective experience, experience or other's presence.
The look has two dimensions: the other I can look, but I I can look. This raises the dialectic of freedom, struggle and conflict. In the presence of the other there are two attitudes: either we assert ourselves as subjects and in that statement we appropriate the other's freedom and objectified being, or we seek to grasp the other's freedom, in its being subject, but at the expense of losing our freedom and become mere objects. Sartre gives as examples of conduct of the second type of love, language and masochism as examples of the first kind of indifference, desire, sadism and hate. In either ways the relationship between subjectivity will always be controversial, will be a struggle between freedoms. Hence his pessimistic conclusion "the Hell is other people."
