Let me reiterate what Nogrod has said in his previous post.

That was one character's interpretation in a disstressing situation - and remember: most of it was his self-thought: so nothing that would be known by anyone other than himself

While every writer has a certain ideas about his own character, other characters can certainly misunderstand actions and words, reinterpreting them in light of their own character's personality. Just as real people do.
As long as you're feeling your character is acting true to himself/herself that's good - what other writers have their own characters feel and react is out of your creative control.
