[quote=Anonymous]I would be annoyed. You are looking at it from your current position, and telling them to simply stop feeling as they do because eventually they will be in their position. How does this help them now? Perspective can be useful but it doesn't always solve immediate problems. If you are 22 and job hunting and can't find a job, having someone say "don't worry, when you are 35 and have been working for over a decade and have a mortgage and a kid, you'll look back at this time and realize this wasn't a real problem" doesn't help you solve your actual problem, which is that you need a job. If they ask for advice, offer practical advice for their immediate problem. If they don't, simply be empathetic. But don't become the Perspective Fairy trying to get them to just stop worrying about any of it altogether because, after all, YOU'RE not worried about it anymore so it can't really matter. You are being myopic.[/quote]
