I have a friend who would tell you to look at the bright side there, it means you're unique. I rarely listen to him myself so take that as you will.
That's why I prefer to stick with either saying as little as possible or offering only the most basic half truths about what I've gone through. I don't want to hear how most may sympathize, or see the looks on their face that express how differently they might have done things. I agree, it's offensive that they think they might actually know how they would react in the moment. Easier to just avoid dealing with the possibility.
