Are you serious? Did you carefully read the entire secret? OP was grieving a death in the family and someone posted a dancing gif from a show "to make [OP] smile". That person maybe meant well, but that was not a classy or sensitive move.

[(Anonymous)]

I think we might be watching very different shows. I absolutely mean it when I say that the right kind of dance can be soothing and comforting.
But I get that that's not the kind OP is talking about. Or is it? Since they themselves question their reaction?

I agree. People respond to these situations as best they know how, even if it's awkward and wrong. Maybe the person found that posting a happy gif worked well in a lot of sad situations, so they thought it mmight also work this time. I have had quite a few times of telling someone thanks, but that really isn't helpful for me, and their reaction has been oh, sorry, and mine has been it's okay, thanks for understanding. I don't hold a grudge if someone earnestly tried but I'm the one person who doesn't like that expression of support. It's not their fault, they can't read minds, and it's on me to manage my emotional response. As long as we communicate and clear the air, no harm no foul.

This. I would never be mad at someone whose heart was in the right place, even if the expression of support they chose wasn't one that worked for me.

Re: nayrt

OP: I wouldn't have been mad neither if was a gif of the character hugging someone, but dancing while celebrating something it wasn't going to happen because he wanted so? No, no, no.

[(Anonymous)]

This is so missing the point I'm not sure if you genuinely can't read, don't understand about human emotions like grief, or are trolling.

[(Anonymous)]

This isn't fair. People experience and deal with grief in different ways, and someone viewing it in a way that's unfamiliar to you doesn't mean that they don't "understand" it.
