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?

agreed, but thats what they want to hear. In my ND when I get a response like that I would think “oh that person wasnt listening but just putting on the auto-response”.
