Tell a related story is best choice because it shows that you really feel what that person is coming through since you've came through similar situation yourself

that's what neurodivergent people do to show sympathy - very often unknowingly. folks sometimes think we do that to get the attention for ourselves, but it's just a long winded way of saying "i understand what you feel, you're not alone in your pain"

But then you are making this about yourself. Stealing the show. Reaping all the sympathy.

So you say the initial cry's a show?

When is only you and your friend in evening near the grill, then i don't know which sympathy i stole, i mean men truly open up very rarely and often in very small circle or even only to one person, so you have to show some compassion in these moments
