My comments turn into mini-blogs

But this is 100% my intent:

Yes. I do this, too. And yeah, it hurts when someone says, "Way to make it all about you." And I'm like, "Look, I just opened up to you about something personal in a good-faith show of solidarity, showed some vulnerability, and you...attacked me? What the hell?"

So, yeah, I get that...

I feel this to my bones

[haebin.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's me, too.

[howlin-wolf-66.livejournal.com]

I do this, too. It's just a way of showing empathy, I think. :-) *hugs*

Most people do this. I'm not sure why it's supposed to be wrong.

To me that's pretty normal, unless someone is totally hijacking my story and making it all about them, I don't have any problem with it, and I do it too. It can be reassuring to know that the person you're talking to has had a similar experience and understands.

[pondhopper.livejournal.com]

Yes. So many of us do that and for that precise reason...trying to show the person talking that we relate to what they're saying. I just hope people will understand when I do that, that it's not making your story about me.

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Yes I do that also.

[zvezda.livejournal.com]

I do exactly the same! I am glad someone is talking about this because I really do it out of care and goodness.

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

I can relate to that sentiment.

*nod nod*
