i hate how many people do this. if youre gonna offer to be a support for someone, actually support them instead of giving them unhelpful advice or toxic positivity! so sorry this happened to you, OP :(

fr, there’s two horrible answers to someone reaching out to you needing help. 1) bring up something that’s stressful, like school, or 2) tell them they’re fine/it’s gonna be ok. it’s okay if you don’t know how to help someone who needs it, but for the love of god stop bringing up how “you can always come/talk to me!” if you can’t actually do it. i feel like i was pretty specific about what i needed too, which is what made this interaction so weird. i don’t feel i’m making this difficult
