I suppose you're right on that front. I DO want to give them validation, but I just want a middle ground between telling them what they want to hear and telling them to just grow up and get over it. Or just flat out saying nothing.
And I suppose generic advice is the best middle ground I'm gonna get.

Yeah. Again, if you have an actual friendship with the person that's different. I'm talking about strangers/acquaintances.

In most situations, the internet isn't going to be the best place for these people to seek help (unless it's an online group specifically for people who need help).

I should modify what I said: I've found great advice places like this to deal with depression/melancholy/whatever you want to call undiagnosed moodiness. But I'm not self harming or suicidal and never have been. When people start talking about serious issues and are not just looking for basic coping advice, that's when you worry. "Hey I'm sad, help me cheer up" shouldn't worry us so much.
