Good point. I think in a case like this it's useful to explicitly point out that you're trying to relate, and to format your response as a question so as to demonstrate that you're actually interested in her experience. The fact that she will likely have experienced a lot of bad- faith responses will mean that we need to tread carefully when trying to compare our experiences.
