By definition, reality should be the same for all of us. And if your social media feed is an echo chamber, you might feel confident that we're all experiencing the same world. But setting foot outside of your community might give you a stark reality check and remind you that some people out there are on a completely different wavelength.
Redditors have been recalling moments when they realized that we may all be living on the same planet, but some of us are in completely different worlds. Whether it's because of fake news running rampant on social media or conspiracy theories infiltrating certain communities, we are not all perceiving reality in the same way. So enjoy reading through these eye-opening stories, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you wonder what in the world happened to critical thinking!

There was a nation wide discussion where women seemingly universally agreed that they would rather be in the woods alone with a bear than with a man because of how dangerous men could be.
However, there was an inability to reconcile that some of those same dangerous men could also find their way into women's prisons and restrooms under false pretenses if given the opportunity.
Lifelong Democrat here, but even daring to have a conversation about this got me hissed at and labeled all kinds of -ist and -phobe.
