I once asked a therapist as to how I should respond instead of "sharing" (this was before my ASD / AuDHD diagnosis). She told me that I should nod my head, say, "Uh huh. I'm so sorry / happy / whatever that happened to you." And not share my own experiences. I was like, "Huh? Then how will the other person know that I can relate to them?"
