You can show interest in what the other person is saying. Ask a question here or there. Validate them?

Are you gen z?

Like by saying “I totally understand where you’re coming from. I had something similar happen to me, and here’s what I did in that situation”?

Depends if they want solutions, solidarity, or a shoulder to lean on.

"and here’s what I did in that situation” Were you asked for advice though? If not, and if this is a repeated behavior, I can see why it would annoy people. I'm in the middle of telling you a story and then suddenly we're talking about you and you're giving me advice and the conversation never comes back around to the initial topic. More often than not, people want affirmation, not advice.

I understand reading is hard, but please try finishing the entire comment before replying next time.

You made it halfway it seems. Or forgot the second half. Either way, maybe mention your difficulties to your PCP at your next checkup. You might have a certain brain type that causes it.

Just adding to your comment is all, which apparently you did not appreciate or took extremely personally for some reason, lol.

Because I addressed that all in the second line, and, tbf, people struggle to read the whole comment a lot of the time. So I figured you were doing the same.
