That was just called a conversation until people got online and made it weird. That is how actual friends talk. They relate to each other.

A secure person sees relatability an insecure sees competition

for me, as long as you don't bring up your experience to tell me mine isn't so bad, it's all good

Why don’t people understand when people do this they aren’t competing or trying to make things about them it’s literally understanding and compassion

I do the same. It’s called conversation and connecting over a similar experience. Don’t let anyone talk you out of the way you communicate!! ♥️♥️

Using a parallel experience is a natural way to show genuine empathy. The uproar stems from communication etiquette designed to prevent hijacking the convo or one upping their story. People have over simplified it to fit a narrative.

As long as the conversation doesn’t fully shift to it being about you and that experience, I think you’re good

I think the only people that understand this when others do it, are the ones that do it too. So when someone does it to us, we’re like “yes! Exactly!”

bpbeap :
yep. try to stop myself sometimes but I always feel like I'm somehow offering comfort or something letting them know they're not alone.

When I share a story and a friend shares their similar story, it makes me feel so seen! And it shows that they listened AND understand!

Same. Then I feel cringe bc I know how people view this and that’s not my intention. Glad to know I’m not alone. ❤️

Julia Lovejoy543 :
So the answer to this is: listen. When they're done,tell them how sorry you are that they're going through it, and that you're there for them. Then "something similar happened to me once, so I can kind of understand". I do it too. This method works for me. Ymmv.

When someone is in acute grief, they don’t want to hear your story at that time.
