Which ironically enough, seems to be the definition itself of "personal experience".
Notice also how there is emotion thrown in: "it made me feel strongly about". How is this supposed to be an argument?

My personal experience is that people often argue in this way, and if I’m being honest if I don’t catch myself than I too am tempted to argue this way. I think there’s a few factors going on, foremost perhaps an aspect of normal human psychology is that when humans process information and from that information come to a observation or conclusion, we tend to remember the conclusion we came to and not the process of coming to that conclusion. Also, I know that I personally (and also everyone else too I believe) think about myself quite a bit more than anyone else. It’s easy to live in my head and forget that not everyone knows what think I know. So tldr - forgetting stuff and being selfish
