When someone tells you some really terrible shit that they’ve been through, you don’t need to give them some of yours, or some of your brother’s aunt’s stepson’s who heard it on a bus once. You don’t need to pretend like you get it.
The appropriate response is just to sit down next to them, take a long deep inhale, an even longer exhale, pass them the joint and just say “Fuck, man, that sucks”.
