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

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?

ND here, and yeah, I’m just as surprised by that response. But fucking noted, damn. My whole life I’ve done that to try to connect with the person, and I never realized everyone around me thinks I’m rude. It kind of circles back to my definition of friend: an actual friend would have told me it’s considered rude and why.
