I don't believe in being depressed and wanting pity of others. I'm brown townytical that way. I suck it up, I think optimistically and go, "Hey. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be anyways!"
I do feel bad and I'm just trying to help even if it may pass off as being an starfish.
I'm sure if you were placed in a similar situation and had a similar connection to what Skae was feeling, you wouldn't be too happy either. You may be an optimist but you can expect people to believe you can foresee yourself getting over it in an instant. Clearly you don't seem to understand how close they were to each other. If you can't imagine having a girlfriend like he had, consider losing your best friend. That wouldn't feel good, would it?
He's not expecting pity, to say he is is just being a straight up jackass. He's venting and sharing his experience. Its nice to let people in occasionally, even if you don't know them. It doesn't seem you're trying to help because if you knew anything about helping people the last thing you should do is tell them the things they don't want to hear because it makes them feel stufftier.
