Perception is reality

This topic was created in the Aquarius forum by coldwater on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 and has 5 replies.
Recently I was having a nice conversation with a gemini male as to certain gemini traits. I briefly explained to him some issues I was having with a certain gemini male who would not take no for an answer. I calmly began explaining to him that I was very careful to try not to send the wrong message and did not know what other course of action to take with this male. He simply looked at me and said, "perception is reality." He said that in this particular mans mind that he perceived that there was a relationship so in his reality there is. Soooo... natuarally that got me to thinking about my own perceptions of reality and how hard or easy it is to recognize the truth.
As aquarians do you find, since we can be detached, it easier or harder to relate to someones else's reality? I mean doesnt it take some form of emotional connection or empathy to see something thu anothers eyes? Can you step outside yourself and basically put yourself into someones else reality?
Just curious as to the answers.
I understand Feby. Thats why I asked another gemini male to help me to hopefully understand where that ones head was at. He did help me alot. I know that he cant know the man totally tho.
I think too thats why alot of people come here for advice. They are trying to possibly understand someones way of thinking...their reality...get inside someone elses head.
When people ask questions do you try to answer it based on you as an aquarius? Or do you try to, based on the story presented, understand how that person might feel and give advice based on that?
I can understand and let the other party live to their own realities. However, it no shape or form does it mean i could i accept and live theirs.I could misconceive, misinterpret, misunderstand, misjudge, may even one day hallucinate (hope to God not), and even worse if i act upon all those missES. We are incapable of being fully objective, even in our most mundane observations and impressions. In your particular situation, i would've expressed back. "its a given, you're in denial, highly deillusion" and called it a day! hahaha.
delusional* (sorry its late hahaha bahhhh hummm bug!)

From the opposite side looking in, if I post a question on the aquarian board, I'm asking for an aquarian point of view and trying the learn the aquarian thought process to try to understand. I appreciate empathy, but for the reason that perhaps seeing the other side's point of view my be a learning tool for yall too.
On the cap board I try to answer questions from a cap perspective because that's what I think they are asking for.
