    What do you have to cry about? Surely it can't be that bad (see, I tried just there, so make of that what you will). On thinking about it in past (it's been a long time since i've been around someone crying) I could actually imagine myself saying "stop crying", which sounds kinda horrible I suppose but my intention is that if they stop crying then they will feel better and I am more able to talk to them to assist them in some fashion, if need be. (lol @ that reasoning).

    Please stop worrying about things that aren't true. (see, I tried again).
    Ditto.
