This is less what someone says, and more how someone communicates...

My Mom's way of getting me to feel better is to ask a closed question like "So, you're feeling better today?" or "Well, you had a good day?"

I get so frustrated! How am I supposed to answer that when the answer is "No, what the hell makes you think I had a good day, have you not been listening to me for the past 3 months!!??"

Oh, and another favourite, again with the totally right intentions:

"All you need is more exercise" or
"you're too hard on yourself" or
"you need more structure in your life" or my all-time personal fave, said to me by an ex-girlfriend when I disclosed my medical condition (which was in serious remission)
"oh my god, are you going to kill yourself? what would I do if we had kids and you left us? I couldn't do that, I just couldn't?"

That left me with a rather large, sinking feeling, let me tell ya!

Thanks for reading, I clearly had to get some of this off my chest.
