Thanks for kind reply, can you describe what does a native English speaker realize from "just" in mentioned cases. please define if with several sentences, what is the meaning of actually or rally? Why do we (use) prefer just in these cases?

It is one of the meanings of 'just'. We recognize it by the meaning of the sentence in each case.
