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”.

People buying at that moment. It’s very important, if you’re going to be playing the stock market, to choose stocks that have plenty of trades happening daily. If there’s nobody wanting to buy your stock when you’re ready to sell then you’re stuck with it until somebody wants it, usually at a lower cost than you wanted to sell for.
