@ Void;
Interesting question. About 40 years ago I read Carl Jung's autobiography,"Memories,Dreams and Reflections". In it he argued our attitudes beliefs,sense of self and others are the result of direct experience.
I accepted Jung's hypothesis at the time. That view was reinforced when I studied the concept of socialisaton and the process by which it occurs.I even wrote a paper on socialising influences.
My reality is what I perceive it to be.That I may sometimes (or completely) be wrong matters not a jot or a tittle in my daily life. I respond to my perceptions,whether they are external or internal,in the form of ideas, attitudes and beliefs. I make my own distinctions between illusion, fantasy and reality.
Is that an answer to your question?
