Oh no, I am so sorry. I remember some of your past posts about your job. I think when people say 'Things will be fine,' it's sort of like saying 'how are you?' There's some kind of linguistic phrase for this but it's not coming to me. It's just the acceptable thing to say in a particular kind of conversation and there is no need for you to contradict them or continue that aspect of the conversation. Maybe you could redirect by talking about something completely different or asking them to let you know if any job leads? Although I guess if they are saying annoying things like that, their job leads would probably be annoying as well!
Thanks for this!
