I worded that reply very badly, and it’s not clear to me reading it again what it would mean to you when you read it. So my bad all around. To clarify, I ment to communicate, hopefully humorously, that people assume their very specific life experiences are typical, and that everyone is going through what they are going through, even though that’s not a universal or even typical experience.

You might already know all this, so sorry, but I think the reply I wrote was badly written.
