I know from my work in conversation analysis that telling a little anecdote from your own life is a normal, useful way for a co-conversationalist to convey empathy with the person who's narrating some aspect of *their* life.
Do you understand that your experience of this as a normal, baseline mode of interaction may be located within a specific cultural context?
