10 Human Experiences We All Share But Never Talk About

We have more in common than we think.

One of the things that has always fascinated me about human beings is that, despite all of our differences, we share so many of the same fundamental experiences, emotions, and internal feelings.

For more than a decade I’ve coached hundreds of people, generated millions of readers and read tens of thousands of comments on my social media pages. While these people all came from a diverse set of backgrounds, religions, beliefs, orientations, and viewpoints — they have faced many of the same struggles and challenges.

I believe that openly discussing these challenges is helpful in a few ways:

1. It helps you realize that you’re not alone.
2. It combats against prejudice. When you realize people are more LIKE you than DIFFERENT from you, it brings you together.
3. It helps you learn from other people’s experiences in order to better understand your own.

So, let’s discuss just a few of the feelings and emotions that you have more than likely experienced, no matter who you are, and why they are completely normal…if not healthy.
