In areas that are not absolutes, sure.
One person may be allergic to a medicine that another is not allergic to.
It bothers me when some impose the idea of truthfulness on matters of style or fashion - or matters of honesty. Honesty and truth are not exactly the same. If my friend asks me if I like her hat and I wouldn't wear it, but she - herself - looks beautiful because she's beaming in it and she loves it, am I lying if I say she looks beautiful? Or am I just humble enough to know that I am not a fashion icon and my opinion matters much less than her feelings? I believe we can share honest opinions about such things, but I don't presume to think we can tell the TRUTH about them.
If my friend believes that she can step off the roof of her third story apartment building and fly, no matter how firmly she believes it, it behooves me as her friend to convince her otherwise. Gravity is law, whether she accepts it or not.
Some things are a matter of connotation. My mother and I used to argue about what color things were. She had an eye shadow that she always said was purple. I always said it was brown. It was called "Sable" (so you be the judge ;P). Regardless of the objective labeling, that was her working definition. Her working definition of that color was different from mine. We saw it differently. We've all had the experience of arguing (or overhearing and argument) where both people are saying the exact same thing conceptually, but each is hung up on a particular word the other has chosen to use to describe it. It's connotation, not content. It is the same truth, described differently.
Even so, I cannot in good conscience advocate everyone believing their own personal truth about God. I fully respect that they have a right to do so, but I believe what one believes about God has consequences. I believe there is one Truth on the matter. I believe that finding that Truth (in Its Entirety) is a process.

If you're talking about moral relativism than, no, if something is true for one person it would be true for all. Society cannot function with everyone making up their own rules for right and wrong. There has to be an absolute "right" and and absolute "wrong" or civilization falls apart. Society cannot exist in the middle of chaos.
If you are thinking about God then, yes, he has absolute standards for right and wrong also. If God is absolute then He has to be perfect in all His ways. He would demand the same of His creation also.

Yes, for example a person with adhd may only need to change his diet, another may just need talk therapy and a third may need a medication to help. This is the same with medical issues, psychological issues, physiological issues and spiritual issues. I also believe that men's and women's bodies and minds are different and must be treated differently for the same things.

this is sort of an ambiguous question. I am me, you are not. lol
I kinda know what you are talking about. We are not the same. For example, someone i know can say the most disgusting thing, and it would sound sooo funny and cool, and would be a hit with all our friends. If one of the people we don't get along with said the same thing, they would be laughed at and ridiculed. We are not all playing by the same rules. We are all different.
If Brad Pitt were to walk into a sorority, the girls would all swoon.
If Richard Simmons were to walk into a sorority, the girls would all laugh their asses off at him.

Yes, as we grow in the lessons we must learn because we are each given different talents and instruction, and yet again there are some things true for all of us .

No . It is simple if it is true it is true if it is not then it is not . There is no my truth and your truth.I had a girlfriend try to to tell me it was her truth and it took me forever to explain to her that the truth is the truth and not for her and not for me.Matter of fact she never did get it and that might be why we are not together today. However in her truth we may still be together.

Something that I see as true you may not. For example, if I were to say that my hair is a very dark brown, and you were to disagree and say that my hair is black. [I've had this argument a lot so I'm using it as an example.]
