Sympathy therapy

Verbally expressing sympathy in an exaggerated way in order to make the sufferer laugh but also realize that whining doesn’t help.

I’m SO sorry you’re going through this! NO one understands the pain you’re in and the obstacles you face! You seriously have it worse right now than anyone else in the world! Is this sympathy therapy working yet?

Grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis

A way for some folks to claim that if you donate enough money, morale will get better.

The people claiming to be morale boosters were making a lot of money off the grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis, but would be quick to try and tear morale apart again if they needed more money for another grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis. The reality is nobody's morale needs a boost.

Grief tragedy sympathy industry

Of the things the grief tragedy sympathy industry shows you on primetime TV, the coronavirus statistics seem dull this time of year because they are all year, but it takes something like extreme weather to wake people up.

The extreme weather is a refreshing thing to see after watching the same dull coronavirus numbers and statistics bullshit that is aired by the grief tragedy sympathy industry all year since 2020.

Sympathy Soda

An unopened/unused beverage (usually in a can or bottle) that was intended for drinking but gets put back in the refrigerator and swapped for a cold one later.

Before going to bed, Michael grabbed a can of cola and took it with him. When he woke up the next morning he took the sympathy soda downstairs and put it back in the fridge and went to a coffee shop.

Sympathy Fatigue

When you had to sit quietly with the dog and I quiet the 4-year-old from playing, as someone “needed time alone to process and just feel sad” about something that may or may not happen.

She was worried she may be sick, but the neediness is giving me sympathy fatigue.
