So is this a me thing, or do others do this as well?
When people tell me of an experience (or I read one here), I try to relate it to my own experiences, and if there is one, I'll share it. Does this annoy others?
@livho I will do this sometimes. It depends on whether I think the person is looking for a connection to someone who understands their experience, or just needs to be listened to with empathy. That can be quite hard to read.
