[QUOTE="Fran, post: 219644, member: 3"] gvcmom, that was really funny. It's hard to always know what the person needs when they are sharing something personal. Sometimes it's just a few words of support. Sometimes it's listening. Sometimes it's someone to tell them "it's going to be ok". My sister and brother tend to make jokes when I'm upset or they get nervous. I understand what you are saying that it's almost like they are negating the seriousness of your concern. It's almost patronizing. I don't like to dwell on the negative that comes through my life and I tend to be more upbeat but it's not superficial and it sure isn't rose colored glasses. I have to believe it's an obstacle to get over or around or I would just sit down and quit. So I'm all for happy moods. (and alcohol and drugs if we need help) I'm kidding. I don't do drugs and barely drink. [/QUOTE]
