I studies Psychology and every now and then you stumble upon what is called "constructionism" (sometimes this idea is referred to by constructivism, social constructionsm and social constructionsm). The latter one says, that there is no reality and our reality is always constructed between people (hence social-constructionism), specifically in conversations. If you have the time, I advise you to have a look at "Gergen - Social Constructionsm", it is very well written, readable for everyone without prior knowledge and I have to say: It changed the way I perceive this world.
