"I'm sorry to hear that"

[NerevarParticipant 8040]

I’ve always known that it’s a typical American thing to say when someone tells you bad news (ranging from “I’m not feeling that well today” to “my grandfather just died/passed away”, but something struck me a few minutes ago.

I told a girl I often chat with (don’t worry, she lives somewhere in the USA, not in Europe 😉 ) that I wasn’t feeling well for two days now and she replied with “I’m sorry to hear that”, and I felt like she actually said “Why are you bothering me with this negative stuff? Entertain me! Amuse me, pet!”

Whenever I talk with my mates and I tell them I feel bad, they answer with “sucks, man… what happened? Feel like playing an online game or something to take your mind off it?” << that feels a lot more compassionate than a simple “I’m sorry to hear that / I’m sorry I have to hear you blathering about something that doesn’t affect me at all”.

Thoughts? Or am I seeing things that aren’t there?

In case you ever wondered where you rate in her’s, or any female’s scheme of things, then herein lies your answer.

Mom is an exception. Sister is a possibility too. Other than close blood relations, women view men as sperm donors who can just crawl off and die once they have done their biological duty.

RoyDal-
You nailed it.

Men are disposable assets to be used up and then discarded. Better off buying a dog imho. Thanks

“I’m sorry to hear that” = Why should I give a s~~~?

“I’m sorry to hear that”
Translation:That’s not my problem.

“I’m sorry to hear that” = “I don’t know what to say and I really hope that you won’t keep talking about it as all I have to say is Sorry to hear that”.

Someone is genuine when they ask if you want to talk about it or if there is anything they can do.

“I’m sorry to hear that” literally means what it says – What you’re saying is making her upset. She doesn’t like being upset so please stop talking

I say it when I don’t know what else to say but feel i should say something. i’m not insincere when i say it. i can’t speak for your friend though.

At times like that, its not uncommon to simply not know what to say. What IS there to say?

“I’m sorry to hear that” is about ME.

“I hope that you will manage – is there anything I can do for you?” is about YOU.

That definitely shows more caring as you pointed out.

As a man, this world isn’t going to show you much empathy for ANYTHING. So I have personally stopped expecting any.

I have actually seen more heartfelt care and outpouring from our members here than I ever have out there. “ILiveAgain” wrote to me (and so did NedTrent and other members) to make sure we take enough breaks, get some sleep and don’t over do it. That’s mind blowing.

Even employers I worked for – for years – didn’t even PRETEND to give a s~~~.

Just being asked “Have you eaten? Let me fix you something” is a tiny gesture and it makes a big difference. How often do you hear something like that?

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

In the Southern states its just a polit frase we all use.But yes every one here is correct.It doesnt mean she cares.If you are sick a woman then sees you as usless.Do not expect empathy or true careing. They simply are not capable of haveing thoses feeling towards men. Cold hearted c~~~s that they are…..im having a red pill rage day hahah !!
