A phrase often used in an attempt to convince someone to seek out psychiatric care or psychological treatment. An expression of concern for someone with a mental illness that drastically reduces their quality of life.
I'm worried about you.
I've been looking at psychiatrists in our area, and I've found a couple good ones for you to talk to. With what you've been going through, it's clear. You need help, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not angry with you, and you're not in trouble.
Please don't blame yourself.
You didn't do anything wrong.
This is not your fault. Okay?
I just can't bear to watch you suffer like this. I feel powerless seeing you pain while not being able to do anything. I don't know how to help you and you don't know how to help yourself.
But that's okay.
I know you want to be strong, but you need to realize you can't do this on your own. There's no shame in that. You need to get some help. I'm not saying this to insult you or to be nasty, but because I care about you. I want you to get better, I wish I could just snap my fingers and make it all go away but life doesn't work like that.
You need help, I need you to realize that.

The words uttered by any person in the process of shoving a tablet, smart phone, or any other video or photo transmitting device in your face. Sometimes it's interesting and inappropriate, but usually in a workplace environment it's the same boring pics of a coworker's kids or grandkids doing typical and predictable kids or grandkids foolishness.

The voices in your head are going to get you into a lot of trouble
You would be doing yourself great favor if you seriously sought help
I am not kidding or being nasty. I am being truthful and honest
How can you continue living like this?
Your quality of life is close to zero
You once told me something. That sometimes happiness is pain. I am not sure if you remember that but i do. But I just didn't realize how twisted your mind is
I didn't realise you actually meant what you said
I didn't realize you meant that not only do you gain pleasure out of your own unhappiness but you are infinitely more happy when you inflict pain on others.
that is not normal. Instead of allowing yourself to destroy elements remaining of you whilst slandering everyone around you, why don't you just seek help instead of accommodating your ill mental health. And not only that but lying and projecting your own mental insanity on others so you can deny and hide your rueful secret to protect your identity ans self image?
You're sick individual. And that one day when we sat I class giving an overview of our thesis, I wanted nothing to do but to punch your face for all your lies and falsehoods. I wanted to do nothing more than to reveal to everyone the person you really are.
but then I held back because I realised, thats not my job - thats God's job

The greatest cop-out in the parent/grownup world, this phrase is uttered when the adult is not able/willing to address/alleviate a totally legitimate problem or concern that a child is complaining to him about. Even worse is if the adult uses amused/cutesy/sarcastic expressions and/or actions to accompany said invalid statement, such as giving the kid a couple quick pats on the cheek for "dismissive emphasis and finality", giggling while speaking, saying, "You wanna know what I *honestly* think?" beforehand, opining that "somebunny" needs the nap (which of course makes the child all the more upset and humiliated, since this makes it appear to the child that the adult is not even really listening to him or taking what he has to say seriously), etc.
Statement: You need a nap.
What is really meant: I don't have the time/money/authority/inclination to help resolve your problem, and/or the bratty/overbearing person who is mistreating you is related to a "somebody" who is important to our family, and so I don't dare make a scene or try to demand that you be treated better by him. But I'm afraid to be truthful with you about this because I've always promised you that I will protect you and correct any wrongs in your young life, and so if you find out that I was "just saying that" but actually am not always able/willing to help you in every case, you will hate me as a parent and never trust me again. Same thing happened with me and your grandparents when I was little.
