I always feel really invalidated when I'm trying to talk to someone about something that's worrying me - usually involving something I have to do or a worry over someone being upset with me for something minor. And while I talk, the person says something along the lines of "everyone goes through that, it's easy. just deal with it". Or things like that.
If it was EASY for me I wouldn't be talking about it!
It's especially invalidating when the other person has mental health issues of their own.. and they seem to think that just because they don't have an issue with X that I shouldn't have an issue with X either.
