In this context the "privilege" is your normal. It's not some extra perk you consciously take, it's that you don't get some shit that happens to other people.
If your house is robbed you can call the police and not worry that they'll arrest or shoot you instead.
You can do your job with little fear that your boss will want to sleep with you and impede your career if you reject his advances.
You can use public toilets without causing uproar and/or breaking laws.
And you can be blissfully unaware that such things are real problems, because it either never happens to you, or happens rarely and on a smaller scale than for some marginalized people.
People asking you to mind your privilege don't want you to feel guilty. They want you to understand and believe that they have to deal with things that don't happen to you.
