One may say that the only person who knows everything about her/his trouble is the person her/himself. On the other hand, we can actually "share" our troubles with others. How can we make this happen? To answer this, I apply conversation analysis to conversational data. The co-membership of the troubled is inter-visualized by participants in "proving" ones own access to a kind of troubled experience vis-a-vis another report of troubled experience. Ones own access is demonstrated, for example, by the procedure of making an independent assessment of the trouble, and by procedure of producing a "second story" of trouble following a co-participants "first story." Once the co-membership of the troubled is inter-visualized, it is interesting that a participants report of her/his "own case" is heard as "proposal" or as "advice" by co-participants. Moreover, such a proposal may be "improper" because it is constructed as a report of "ones own case." A rejection of such a proposal may occur indirectly.This means that a rehash of troubles-talk is preceded by formal acceptance and/or silence and/or a preface. In doing so, a trouble teller may orient to the co-membership by inviting the other participants to talk about their troubles. My conclusions are: (1) even if the co-membership of the troubled is inter-visualized, participants may be divided into counter-sub-categories such as trouble-resistive (proposal) and trouble-receptive (rehash). However, both the proposals of "ones own case" and the rehashes of troubles-talks are implemented by the orientation to the co-membership of the troubled. This contributes in making the topic "rich." (2) The sociology of trouble has taken it for granted that one orients to resolve ones own trouble when one talks about it. However, rehashes of troubles-talks through the rejection of advice imply that there may be trouble-talks that dont orient to solutions. (3) The co-membership of the troubled prepares a "safe" utterance environment for "improper" proposals. This sequential environment is critical to institutional settings such as mothering and self-help groups.
