There is much confusion when it comes to deciding how we know something and whether it's something that we gained knowledge of on our know or if we gained knowledge of it with the help of the people around us. So, let me tell you this- there are 2 types of knowledge: personal knowledge and shared knowledge- you could probably already guess what both mean, but I'll explain to you the difference between both (in more detail).
Personal knowledge
it's something that YOU know, for example you are the only person who would know what YOU like and don't like, e.g. "I know that I like to listen to music"- that is something that only YOU are sure of, other people may think that you like music, however they may not be sure, only you can be sure of that.
Shared knowledge
it's something that you and a group of people know of- which can develop overtime e.g. faith/religion, as well as history- shared knowledge is something that we share with other people with similar characteristics/interests
So what links these 2 types of knowledge?

So what links these 2 types of knowledge?
- both result in us learning from new experience
- shared knowledge can help influence personal knowledge
- sharing knowledge can help an individual realise things they may not have realised before- about themselves
