Infinity never ends, so I never exist.
I DON'T EXIST

Can you solve the Paradox?
Infinity never ends, therefore you always exist.
You feel like you exist because you do exist.
Paradoxically it makes sense without containing a paradox .

Consider this:
"I don't exist"
PROOF:
Let's assume that I do exist
So it's true that I exist
So it's true that it's true that I exist
So it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that I exist
So it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that I exist
So it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that it's true that...

Infinity never ends, so I never exist.
I DON'T EXIST
END OF PROOF
...But I feel like I exist! It's a Paradox!

It is true that you exist. You are not getting any new thing by adding it is true to the former. Therefore you exist and there is no paradox.
You exist and you don’t exist would be a paradox, but you have only claimed without proof that you don’t exist and then claimed with support that you do exist.

It's not a paradox, as has been pointed out. It also doesn't lead to the conclusion that he doesn't exist. It is an attempt to undermine the assertion that he exists. But it's a pretty basic bit of reason that not being able to prove X does not mean not X is the case.
Further the same 'argument' could be performed on the assertion 'I don't exist.' If the argument is valid against the positive, it's valid against the negative. So, we end up agnostic.
But then other posters have disembowled the effectiveness of this 'argument'. I just wanted to point out that even if it worked, the conclusion is not supported.
