Let us assume for a moment that it is. This means there isn't a reality beyond what people perceive and understand. That nothing lies beyond this because everything that exists (which is what we call "reality") is subjective.
Is this really what you believe? I doubt that, but if it is then this assumes one of two things. That you either believe no one else actually exists and all others are merely illusions of your subjective mind, or that they all exist but are shallow and empty because they are merely creations of your finite and subjective mind and cannot have realities of their own, else those realities would be real too and in existing would no longer make reality subjective because that would contradict the premise.
No, reality isn't subjective at all. Only perception and understandings of reality are subjective.
Does anyone here truly disagree?
On topic: Most children seem to have absolutely no trouble understanding reality. Most people just seem to forget how to make sense of it as they get older, then some realize this and have to figure it out all over again.
