Neurotypicals - Is it rude to share a similar story after you share something that might be emotional or traumatic? (hexbear.net)

I keep hearing that this is frowned upon, but I cannot help it. After I share, I circle back and explain how and why I connected the two stories to try to recenter the other person. Is this annoying? How do you want ND people to respond in that case?

Oh wow that is SO AWKWARD. Yeah, I definitely know better than your boss to do something like that. Even if they didn't spin out I feel like saying "I don't know what i would do if..." can already turn the attention around so I try to avoid it

I think I tend to connect with people Moreso on past events than current ones, but a good rule of thumb to try to keep in mind

It is definitely easier to navigate a situation were the ratio of Emotion to Experince is closer to 1:1 instead of 10:1.
