When I am hurting and in pain, so often people try to make me feel better by minimizing my pain. They try to make light of my pain by telling me that it will get better (which I know it will), or they tell me there are worse things in the world (which I know there are).

How is telling me things 
I already know helping me? Do they even realize what they are telling me are not what I actually need?

What I actually need is for someone to tell me that it hurts because it matters. This would be far more useful for it would be a lot easier and more bearable for me to feel sad when I am not constantly berating myself for being sad.
