I really hate it when people tell me to not be sorry.
As in, "This company is run in such a bullshit way. I can't believe I have to deal with this."
"Sorry."
"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault."
It's like they never caught on to what that kind of sorry actually means.
Here goes for those of you who didn't get it yet: "I feel empathy for you. I recognize your pain, I relate, and I know it sucks."
The purpose of this is to connect and therefore soothe the distressed. Not assume responsibility for something I clearly have no part in.
carry on.
