Not always. Depends on the circumstances.

NO. Do you realise that little children think that people far away, or on the sidewalk as viewed from a skyscraper a really little. Isn't it scary that adults walk around thinking in concrete terms that go beyond that which we abstract.
As a matter of fact, even if one of those people was reading this..it would seem no more than gibberish?
That's why I don't always trust my perception of reality.
I don't obsess on it, but I do draw personal barriers at times which enable me to remain somewhat neutral.
God Bless those that cross them...you know what I mean?
Good Question,
Mister

Well what is reality? Does anybody know? Its a personal decision that each individual makes without realizing it. I think some people standard of reality is more or less demanding than the next persons. I think most people need to be comfortable enough to TRUST their reality in order to function with day to day activities, including me.

No. Everyone is blind in their own way. A person has to be open to other people's ideas and views. Not all the time is a person perception of reality true.

Well, it seems to have worked out for me pretty well so far, but I would much prefer to live in a reality in which undeclared undergrads contemplating basic philosophical study didn't pose such blanket questions over and over again (with no hope of resolution or direction to acheive the same)

yes and no
looks can be deceiving
some things are not what they seems
reality for you may not be reality for other people
what you believe is not what people believe
Or else you wont be asking questions if you complete trust your perception of reality

nope. not in the least.
i've got crappy vision where even the best correction doesn't all the way fix my depth perception (i just plain DON'T parallel park.)
i'm a smoker and have allergies so my nasal cavities are frequently clogged and therefore, unable to smell completely. and that affects taste too.
i've got a genetic high frequency hearing loss, so i'm partially deaf.
and... i've got a disorder that makes my nervous system register sensations at a higher level and rate than most others....
so no. because all my senses are proven as crap.

Yes, even virtual reality that are as real as from cyber space, video game to something that of The Matrix.
If I know what happens, I can do something about it and how to adapt and learn to live in that "reality."

Depends if you mean physiological perception (most of the time), psychological perception (some of the time), or psychological perception under duress (only if verified by third parties).

Kinda....it's really hard to say what my perception of reality is.

Trust is such a strong word, how about utilize? As in:
I utilize my perception of reality.
Could you accept that instead or not?
