A friend said something

A friend said something that landed differently to most,

Most people say silly empty words, they mean nothing but they make themselves feel better you know? like they are helping? 

Instead they sat down and admitted to me

"An issue here is I think I'm not really able to empathise with that. Anything I say is me standing at the top of the hole. I can chuck down knicknacks that I think of that to me look like they are ladder shaped, but I haven't ever had to get out of the hole so I'm chucking them down hoping they help maybe."

And it made sense and it was nice? because I don't want empty words of sympathy I want you to be honest, I don't EXPECT everyone to get my exact scenario and situation I love that friend so much. Because they said what they felt not what they thought would sound good to alleviate guilt on not understanding.
