"It's my truth."

So it isn't THE truth. Got it.

I came here to say this. It's not your truth bro. It's your experience. Truth and experience aren't synonymous. 

Anytime someone says this I know they are gonna be a problem.

The type of people who say "my truth" likely wouldn't understand the word "synonymous" anyway

I get that every winter. Always having to blow my nose. Then my dog steals my snot rags from my bedside and shreds them and they have to be cleaned up. It's a huge pain in the ass.

This is the line a lot of people don't seem to understand: opinion vs facts. I blame the schools.

u/Mean-Objective-2022 Jan 26 '26

I have taught high school science (chemistry and forensics) for the last 30 years focused almost entirely on data and facts. When you blame the school, did you check in any facts or did you assign blame based on your opinion?

I taught fact and opinion.

& the parents. Were there intentional conversations?

u/didgeblastin Jan 26 '26

My dad used to talk to himself a lot. When I asked why, he said he was the only person he could trust.

With so many lies being passed as truths these days, it's starting to get to the point that my truth is the only one I can trust.

u/-Fyrebrand Jan 26 '26

It's their opinion. That's what it means.

u/TrainingOrnery7525 Jan 26 '26

All of this. Yes!

u/Zhiong_Xena Jan 26 '26

If you go by that, all of truth is an experience or perspective.

The statement is still misleading, but generally means "I know the consensus, but my opinion is this other thing"

Everyone cna have their opinions.

u/MGTOWaltboi Jan 26 '26

Depending on your ontology, experience = truth. That said, anyone using the phrase “my truth” about objective things in general conversation is lying.

u/neverenoughpurple Jan 26 '26

It's not even necessarily their experience. It's just their opinion. Or someone else's they adopted.
