I think its worse when if they say nothing. i mean what can kind of sympathy can u expect from someone? Whats it matter what they say, so long as they are by your side whats it matter. I could never get angry at someone thats trying to sympathise with me no matter how many cliches they use.

Hello Porman,
I don't believe we've met yet. You do bring up a very valid point. If a person is truely by your side in a careing way, it doesn't matter. They are open to witnessing what you are going through. We all need to be seen and heard. That is what I call "witnessed."
But sometimes when you go to people for support and they blow you off by some cliche, it really sucks.

Nice to meet you. Hope to see you around

I hate when people tell me that whatever I'm feeling is just hormones.
i.e. "That's just your hormones talking."
Honestly, shut up.
So what if I'm a hormonal hurricane? Get over it.

I hate it when people tell me "You're such a great person, I'm sure it will be o.k."
If I'm so great, why hasn't it been o.k. ever? Especially when they have no idea what you have been through or what you tried to resolve the issue. Then when you start to tell them everything you've done and have no more suggestions, they're like "Oh, well I'm sure you'll find something."

I'm with Eve. Just once, I want someone to hand me a goddamn pint of ice cream. (Although just to clarify, Phish Food is my flavor, not Chunky Munky.)


In all seriousness though,you shouldn't get mad at people for saying lame shit like "it'll get better" or "everybody has problems". It's just their way of trying to help; you be should grateful that they care enough to even say something to help or persuade you to get over it. Because if it was me, I'd just be like, "shut the fuck up. I'm trying to sleep."

For me it would probably be something that actually happened the other day


"Look... I really do not want to talk to you now.

idk when and if i ever will want to again."



...


"so please just leave me alone.

screw the please...

just leave me alone."

LOMO at the last bit there zraskolnikov. Well at lest your honest.

I don't have anything really that you could say. I mean when am down there not a lot that would make it weirs.

I agree with zraskolnikov that if ppl do say things that are a little dumb at lest they still took the time to try. Dumb or not its the thought that counts.

I hate when someone is depressed and people tell them to get over it.

Of course, I'm not depressed so it doesn't matter. There's nothing wrong with me mentally, I'm just stupid and unlikeable.

Why do you think this? because based on casual observation, you don't seem either of these things.


I think I'd have to go with the "Smile" answer as the worst thing someone could tell me.

Usually when someone tells you to smile, it's right after someone shot your sister, ran over your dog and informed you that Santa Claus isn't real. No one wants to smile after all that, but people will tell you to do it anyway.
