When you share bad news about your personal life with someone, does it help any if/when they respond by telling you their own similar experiences? Is there something else that would be more helpful to hear?

Hearing someone is important. I think after you've heard someone its important to show you've heard someone, and sometimes the best way to do that is to highlight how you can empathise... but more often than not its better just to ask a follow up question.
