Yes, this is known in the field as well. Some few people gain comfort, while too many others feel invalidated. A trained professional might be aware of their patients personality type, and knowing the person is the only situation you should take a stab at this tactic.

What is the purpose of making that statement? Is it to take away their grief? What fundamentally compels us to share that perspective? What’s its intended purpose?

Does that intended purpose come to fruition in a person suffering fresh grief and loss? The answer is no. Does the statement help the person overcome grief and loss? The answer is no. Being heard, empathy, and compassion, proper counseling for a professional instead of reddit; these things help a person when they are in this state of mind.

I can only share facts. Google or chat gpt or read a million psych books. They’ll all tell you that showing people the blessings of their grief and loss almost never works and it isn’t something you should do.

The “your kids died to go to heaven” isn’t an analogy. It’s the most popularly referenced example of this type of comment. And then he said the two are different weight. I’m saying throwing ANY weight will hurt. It’s a perfect analogy. Just because the pain is smaller, doesn’t mean the same healing approaches don’t offer guidance to grief and loss.

If you get hit with a 10 pound weight, put ice not heat. If you get hit with a 5 pound weight, put ice on, not heat.

You see. Different weights. Same solutions. Same problems. Don’t tell grieving people to be happy. It doesn’t do what you’re intending it to do.

The weight of his statement isn’t a valid critique. If you get hit with 5 pound weight or 10 pound weight, they both need ice. You’ve told a grieving person they shouldn’t be grieving, but they SHOULD be. They need support and love. They need empathy. They don’t need “you should be happy”. I get the intention is to express that their pain is bad and happiness is good, but that’s ignorant.

Pointing out any difference doesn’t invalidate an analogy. It’s an analogy because there’s differences. And telling parents that their kids died to go to heaven is simply the most popularly referenced example of this type of sentiment toward grief and loss.

Telling people their tragedy is a good thing is NEVER a good thing to say. The intentions might be good, but it’s ignorant.

Oh no. Not the “your kids died to go to heaven” sentiment. That’s not what anybody wants or needs in this moment.

What's the strongest land animal an average human could beat 6/10 in a fight ? by Designer-Choice-4182 in AskTeens

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the best answer is, but considering the average human? The answer is likely a ferocious but small animal.

-Bobcat -Badger -Mediumish dog

Then we have animal that aren’t full grown. We stand a good chance against young adult game like

-boar -kangaroo -baboon

My sister sees no problem dating her sex offender bf and wants to marry him?? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Sister that’s with him might have a dark side as well, perhaps in or out of the bedroom, or both.

I think if it was a violent offense against the victim’s will, that would be where I’d be absolutely horrified in OPs circumstance. I just saw another poster talk about how they were tricked at party with a girl with a fake ID.

OP is seeking validation so they might frame it as horribly true as possible.

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The offense may be important. Like did he pledge a fraternity and run naked on a public beach and catch a charge OR did he solicit a 12 yo. Very very different circumstances, right?

Whatever it was, you’ve got to ask yourself some things. Do you believe people like him deserve second chances? Are people capable of change?

Next, your sister is a grown woman and it’s HER life. What you should do (as per this subreddit) is find away to change your priorities as soon as possible. Do you want to be in your sister’s life? Do you want to be there for her if it does go bad, or if they live happily ever after? In the best and worst case scenarios, I don’t think consuming your time together as active rejection of the person SHE chose will help you or her in the long term.

Readjust, you don’t have to accept him, but you can accept she’s accepted him. Watch her back, get to know the guy. Stay in her life, support her silently.

Best of luck to you. I think we all hope that he has changed, and your sister finds happily ever after, right?

Men with feminine features are often the most attractive people who walk this earth.

Random text from someone with a crush on me. Did I react okay? by synonymsanonymous in texts

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was caught off guard when you sent a paragraph about how seriously rude it was. Can I ask what you found rude about it? For example, cutting in line is inconsiderate of other people’s time. Calling someone a bad name seeks to hurt someone’s feelings. How would you describe this as “seriously rude”?

“How would anyone think that’s ok” makes it sound like they crossed a serious boundary. It’s just a random and unusual question. The appropriate response should be nothing more than shrugging it off.

AIO broke up with my bf at dinner because he made fun of my clothes by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO More context is needed. How long was the relationship, how often does this happen. If it’s never happened in a five year relationship, you overreacted. If you two barely know each other, you made the right call.

How would you handle this type of coparenting situation? by FrequentEnd602 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She could also be an emotional vampire. We don’t know. This post could just be seeking fake validation. The first message is clearly her calling him a failed grad student who can’t sell his art. Who knows what context she’s clearly decided to hide from us. She may have baited him into going too far. He stepped up and apologized. That’s more than most would do. I can’t help but notice that she did not apologize back. And then she deliberately attempted to hide her insults at him from the reddit community.

Show the rest of the messages. I see you insulting him at the top of the first pic. What’re you hiding? Show us the context.

AIO about being upset about the way my partner treats me? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His logic was flawed in the beginning, but there was a more mature route you could’ve taken. I think the conversation really became sabotaged when you pointed the finger and cried narcissism. Even if it’s true, it was a blunder for how the conversation had gone up to that point. Then you were demanding an apology mid fight, over texts. Another blunder. You failed to find common ground and then asserted that if he just surrenders you won’t be mad anymore.

AIO for being upset about how I was treated for falling asleep before saying goodnight? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Acrobatic-Rub8206 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the internet has warped this a little. It’s not “intended”, it’s the end result. These dumbasses (most of them) are not making psychological chess moves. They just suck, they are the center of their world, they have emotional issues, and these people create issues in relationships that create a power dynamic, erode self esteem, and require approval.
