      It’s worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up. My understanding is the misery, for lack of a better word, is more comforting to many as it reminds them of when they were young (or they emulate what they saw around them as children)

        I get that 100% and, although I am sure I made the mistake before, I am trying hard to understand and respect these boundaries
