“Don’t be sad” is the Most Useless Comforting Words Ever

You know it but you still say it.

“Don’t be Sad”

“Be happy, day still goes on”

“Don’t cry”

“It will be Alright”

“Things will Get Better”

“Tomorrow is a new day”

“I know how you feel”

STOP! It is not like I don’t know about these but the truth is, I’m. sad. right. now.

These responses all sound caring but they do not mean a thing. Just a bunch of reflexive responses you…

It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply.
