Mostly!

But at the same times there are people who can't think independently and say/do things under others' influence!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends on the person!. A lot of people can't see beyond their own little world, so yes!.!.!. I would say their reactions are a factor of their own reality!.

Some people however, are able to put themselves in the place of another person and feel what they feel!. And so their reactions are not limited to their own world but from the culmination of their own experiences and those of everyone they have felt for!.

There are of course those people who though they can think for themselves, choose to let other people think for them and dictate their reactions because they want to be "acceptable" to the group of people that they wish to be a part of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think their reality is a filter they fit onto their projector/projection!.

We can and do think logically and dispassionately about some issues!. But to be able to detach our surroundings and perspective is extremely difficult!. Biases and experiential understandings are bound to creep into our words and actions!. Even the most careful person is likely to slip into this filtering process!.

That does not invalidate what one says or does, it just points out the necessity of being vigilant so that our filter does not entirely warp our interactions!.

That is a good observation!. Many people have a mental view of reality, sometimes a bit off from the ACTUAL reality!. But that is OK because they are not harming anyone, or themselves!. What they say and do, is not the actual reality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure that i agree with this no, because sometimes what others say and do might be to please others and not just for theirself!. Their own reality may be projected as looking real to others, but all may not be as it really seems!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not always, the person could have understanding of the other persons reality therefor are motivated by that understanding and knowledge as opposed to the understanding of their own reality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

exactly!.
