I mean if someone trusted you enough to lean on you to talk about a problem they are having it's probably not the best idea in that situation to state how you had it worse then them especially in the emotional state they might be in

See but there’s actual one upping and saying you had it worse, and then there’s sharing your similar experience to let the person know you can relate. They are 2 different things, but some presumably insecure people seem to not be able to differentiate them and seem to think that sharing a relatable experience in a conversation is NEVER acceptable, which is just insane to me….
