If you want to cheer someone up, tell them "there are people who got it better than them" and not the opposite, amirite?

I agree, you are right. I think I went overboard. But... That sounds incredibly difficult. I'm sorry you're going through that ...is cringe ASF, just my two cents.

Probably because you're used to having your feelings routinely invalidated and so it feels cringe when someone actually says something validating.

Because you can never really sound like you actually mean it, also I KNOW it's terrible, why are you telling me that it is? If you are going to say something just lead with a question, it better shows that you are interested in the situation. But that's just me, everyone is different I guess.

The trick is to actually care about other people, so that when you say it, you DO mean it.

If I didn't mean it I wouldn't say it, but that's just me.
