Guy friend does not know how to comfort?

[Ofoceansbeaches]

Me: my grandma died
Him: sorry to hear. How are you feeling?
Me: (more sad details)
Him: that's life. You should live life to the fullest. Life is unpredictable.
Me: are you scaring me?

Are guys really like this?

When someone is trying to comfort another person, the effectiveness of their efforts can vary based on the individual receiving the comfort. People have different needs, preferences, and ways of processing emotions, so what one person finds comforting might not have the same effect on someone else.

For example, the phrase 'deal with it' is often considered less comforting because it may come across as dismissive or lacking empathy. However, for me, it's valuable and true. It has helped me get over many things, even though it sounds rude to most people.

'Are guys really like this?' The truth is, everyone finds comfort in different ways; some are simply more common than others. It shouldn't be anything to question or get irritated over; he's just that type of guy, just like millions of other different types.

It would seem he's using the situation (the passing of your grandmother ) to simply share his viewpoint versus provide any useful condolence.

Unfortunately, many men are inexperienced in the ways of consoling someone who has suffered from a recent death or tragedy, etc.

I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me as well, if that's alright. Thank you very much.
