Is this reaction appropriate or self centered

okay so person A tells you they feel like shit because of Situation XY.

Person B answers that they are sorry that person A feels like shit, and they know how hard this is because they have been in a similar situation and it was no joke.

i don't think it's self centered, it can be nice to know other's have been in the same shitty situation and gotten out of it. altho it can depend on how it's said, you gotta read the room

i think it depends on how it was said for it to be either selfish or not. if the person said like "oh i know how you feel i've been there before" i would say it's appropriate, but if the person says "i know i've been there too, this and this happened to me and bla bla bla" and makes it about themselves then i would say it's selfcentered. idk, does that make sense??

I agree w octo and disposie but tbh I'd also just be like "okay and" if it was the appropriate version

wouldnt blame them though I say that shit all the time I'm just not pleased anyway

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say other than to explain that you understand

i always feel a bit selfish when I am person B, but I appreciate it as person A

yeah some people are just really empathic, it's a normal reaction to not just place yourself in someone's shoes but actually try to understand and lend an ear through the fact you've been through something similar

That is an appropriate reaction because you listened to and acknowledged person A's story. Shared experiences are one of the things which bond people.

i think it's great to show that empathy, as long as person B doesn't launch into a story. yk what i mean? like, say you understand but don't take over the conversation i guess
