If someone is telling you about it, then it is important enough to them to put a voice to. The hardest thing I deal with is the “me too” thoughts when someone is telling me something. When I focus on those thoughts, I generally stop listening to them and wait for them to finish so I can tell them my story.
To combat this, I usually ask them another question regarding what they have said. This helps me focus on what the other person has told me, more than on myself…
