Sometime with friends when they don't know what to say, will say things that drive us nuts. The next time tell him something like. Thanks if I wanted to be more upset and depressed I would simply turn on the TV and watch the news ... Friends make us laugh when we are sick, others don't know what to say and then spout out something that is crazy. One of mine came in after I had a pulmonary embolism and told me how I should be dead cause most don't live through them. Wow what a help, and went on and on ... another friend came in and I swear I laughed my way out of the hospital with all of his crazy stories. Needless to say I prefer the laugh cause they don't know what to do or say thinking they are helping.   Just correct him the next time with that wonderful humor you have to set him straight if he is a good friend who only gets on your nerves from time to time. He probably didn't mean to say anything to upset you, just is at a loss for words so he spouts out anything. I have been there captain
