the stock market, who am I “selling” to?

I understand but I don’t. When I “sell” stocks, who am I selling to exactly? The people who are buying in that exact moment? The exchange institution? Same when I’m “buying”.

There is a finite number of stocks. You are buying them off whoever is selling them at that moment.
The more people that are attempting to buy a stock, the higher its price. If no one wants the stock its price falls.
There’s so much volume that there are always buyers and sellers at any one time.
