Every time someone tries to cheer me up by telling me that they "know exactly what I'm going through" or that "it'll be all right", I feel worse, as if my suffering is somehow being trivialised.
right now it's "at least you have XXX. My long time single friend believes that because I have a husband, I therefore, have nothing on her, as far as misery goes because " at least I have XXX". Shut up, LOL! I love her and let it fly in the wind....
"It is what it is"
TRANSLATION:
"Yup, you're right, this is wrong, it needs our attention/money immediately, but we're going to ignore the issue and hope it goes away"
I agree with your definition. This is always something I can't change because it is someone else's job to step up and change a situation and they refuse to do it. Sadly, if it was something I could change and I didn't take action, I'd be getting a talking to from the boss.I take this one another way - to me it's more like: don't worry about something that you can't change. I use it quite often. I guess some of these are open to interpretation.
