Our Experience vs. God’s Word

I've been wrestling with a thought....
We say in conversation that you can't say anything against someone else's personal experience... but what if those said experiences don't align with the Word of God?
I am left with having to accept what that person says or even what I say as truth no matter if God's word would oppose their or my own experience...
Would this not fall into the category of post-modernism? Your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth. Thus, there is no actually basis for what is true.
So which is it? Do I succumb to the pressures of what society says, people pleasing, fear, intimidation, and pride, completely denying God's Word as the basis for what is true or do I set aside what I perceive or want to be true and with humility look to His Word for what is the basis for truth in conjunction with the experiences I have and hear from others?
Through which lense are we looking through first? A biblical or worldly lense?
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. - (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
