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?

I have lost friendships and people refused to tell me what I did wrong soooo

Happened to me too, it’s actually so upsetting :c Like I’m sure if we talked we could figure it out, but they already gave up on me without even trying and that hurts
