Realized I didn't have to care about why my experience couldn't fit the narrative of someone else who had gone through a 'similar situation'.

Don't be judgy about someone else's experience, instead appreciate them sharing it with you. You don't have to add "I have experienced/understand that too" to every sentence from others. It's OK to not relate sometimes and understand that's why you are you, not x.
