How can one person’s reality be so different from someone else’s? And what are the motivations behind their thoughts, beliefs, and actions?

Wouldn't know without getting to know what it is, through conversations I would think

perspective, that's how - say there's a dude standing on the train tracks and there is a train headed straight for him - you might think the guy's a fool and deserves whatever he gets...on the other side of the tracks, another guy looking from the opposite direction can see that the man's foot is shackled to the tracks and grabs his bolt cutters or whatever to get him free - and there you have two people observing the same event in different ways

We assume so much as true and a given and we assume so much as granted be entitled to. These things form the brittle parts of our reality and when those break we think sb did that on purpose and want to blame others. By that mechanism we appear as greedy little idiots to many and think of us in much higher terms. Hence we appear more different than we are by enhancing our stupid sides.

They're probably casting an illusion to cope with the traumatic loss of their android boyfriend.
