Depends on what level we're referring to. Experiences are individualized AND common to everyone.
Buddhism teaches this and modern psychology is reaching the same conclusion.
Basically it's pretty clear by now that certain things make us feel better than others, regardless of who or what stage of life we're in.
In other words, believing that your experience is only yours is perhaps the greatest enemy and the path to misery, and the current state of the culture in our society. That's basically what the Buddhist call attachment. We attach to identities, ideas, of us, others, etc. This is the root of all suffering. And then there's patterns of attachment that are worse than others.
You can change if you understand, visualize and make a plan. I suggest Buddhism to everyone, it's truly an incredible philosophy.
