To hate it when people say ''get over it?''

[dunceinlove]

It normally relates to something that is hard to get over like the end of a relationship or loosing a job.

You are all going to tell me to get over it now!

I also hate those people that, when you tell thenm something, say "Yeah, done that, got the T-Shirt" thereby negating what you have just told them. There are nicer ways to phrase it such as "Ooh, I do know how you feel".

Sibling- Just want to say Sorry for you loss i do know exactly how you feel having had 6 Mc myself.

I would never ever have wished them on my cousin at all but her exact words were ' they are just Mc i dont know what you are making a fuss about, just get over it already'. It took me a long time to fall pg in the first place 5 yrs to have 6 mc and she knew this when she said it so I hope you can understand now why i did feel alittle like 'at least she knows how i feel and why i was so upset now'. I was so angry and hurt by her words.

'what comes around goes around' was the wrong phrase so sorry about that.

I find it's normally said by people who think they are ever so much more clever than the general population. Also said on a lot of tv shows.

Sorry to hear about your losses. i cannot believe that someone would tell you to get over that.

yep hate the phrase i had an extremely 'helpful' gp who said i should 'get over it' and 'pull myself together' when i was suffering from post natal psychosis and severe depression after having ds4, which included spending a week in the psych unit, but yeah i obviously just needed to get over it and pull myself together

I say it to myself A LOT! I say -

'accept it, deal with it, move on' on a daily basis.

But would never say it to anyone else so YANBU.

I agree with foureleven - only say it to yourself.

Or to men sulking about sporting related 'traumas'.

Or my previous boss complaining loudly about having to fly economy class for a 2 hour flight as part of the money saving the company was doing which included lots of people being made redundant.

can't think of any other acceptable situations.
