I once held that term against a nurse practitioner for years; the first words she ever said to me when she walked in the room (and we had never met) was "So. What is it? You just can't cope?" YIKES

I hate the word cope on every level possible. "You need to develop more coping skills" no I don't. A "coping skill" is something you do to distract from your current emotional state. I don't want a distraction. If there is a giant hole in the wall, I don't want to decorate the space around the hole to draw attention from the damage. I want to cover or fill the hole. I guess SI would be kinda like seeing a giant hole in the wall and proceeding to light the sofa on fire.
But "it is what it is" is horrible. Like no ****ing s*** it is what it is! What else could it possibly be? And what the hell is it anyway? I wish teachers would respond to their students like that. "Ms. Teacher, what's an automobile?" "Well, an automobile is an automobile". Wow, thank you for imparting such deep knowledge on me. My understanding of the world around me has been totally changed and I'm suddenly okay with every tragedy that has ever happened to me ever.
