I usually avoid trying to avoid explaining things like this to people. It's hard to get people to understand where you're coming from in a situation like this. It wouldn't be so hard if they were just listening but it's hard for a person to just listen. They take what they're hearing and translate it and try to put it into their own words. People aren't supposed to admit that they're sad and if they do it has to be for a damn good reason.
