Just a friendly reminder that when someone is experiencing negative emotions, phrases like "Cheer up!" and "It's not that big of a deal" do not help. In fact, they usually make the person feel even worse.

You'd think right? I wish. Responses like that make sharing your genuine negative feelings harder bc you're risking being made to feel worse. :( I try to remind myself that different levels of social experience/capabilities are usually behind it. They do mean well. But AHH
This should be common sense by now.That's a shame, since just sharing a bad experience and talking it out can in itself help you feel better, whether that discussion leads to a solution to the problem or not.
People who've done that to me usually didn't care about my problems, so I've learned to ignore them

Exactly! It is such a shame. And good point. Sometimes people do care, but they don't know how to react and say the wrong things. Other times, they might default to said statements because they don't actually care and are too lazy to say something more meaningful.
