Answer 6

If your saying like you got dumped or you dumped them its hard to say ''get over it'' but it does help becasuse it tells yourself get over it just dont mop and mardy because of it

Answer 7

for me, guys are hard to get over. overall, anything is hard to get over if it is worth telling somebody! getting over something may be as little as changing the subject or as big as talking to the someone or thinking about the something bothering you.

Answer 8

It's easier to tell someone to get over something if it never happened to you because you don't know what that experience was like and don't know how easy it is to get over it. Yeah, your opinion probably does change with the experiences you have.

Answer 9

I think it is easier to say it if it's never happened to you.  It's a pretty rude and inconsiderate response. Some people who have experienced it and had an easier time getting over it than you, might feel like you're overreacting so they tell you to get over it. But, if they haven't experienced it at all, then it's definitely easier for them since they have no idea how you're feeling.  

Answer 10

theres some things in life you can get over, and some you can't. those things won't be the same for me or the guy that answers below me. everyone has hardened there heart in some way, sad but true. sometimes experience makes you sympathetic, sometimes it makes you bitter.

Answer 11

Depends on what it is.  It's generally easier to say if you've never experienced what's going on if someone is in a difficult situation.

Answer 12

That is a great question.  I think your opinion does change with experience, because you never know the depth of something until you are in that situation.  That being said I think it is easier to say get over it if you have experienced it and had an easy time with it or if you know a little bit about the situation rather than it being totally foreign to it.  (Sorry the last part of that sentence is sort of confusing!)  What I am trying to say is that if you are removed from the situation, but have knowledge of someone who came through that situation easily than it is easier to say get over it.  

Hope I helped ... really interesting topic!!

Answer 13

Yes 100% yes, It is easier to understand the other person when you have been thru it your self.   You can relate to them and maybe give good advise.

Answer 14

i think it depends on your expirience. for example, if someone's mom had died four years ago i would never have said get over it. but now, having been through it and being okay, if it's been two or more years since the death i just want to make them deal with it. so for me, it's easier to say after in that case. but i think there are a lot of cases where the event was more traumatic then i would have thought, too.

Answer 15

EASIER SAID THAN DONE..

Answer 16

It's obviously easier if you have never been through it before; you'd have no clue how painful it is.

Answer 17

saying get over it is easy but it is dumb, let people move on when they need to!

Answer 18

yes. sometimes your more simpathetic to someones situation if you've lived it.  But if its something not so serious then i guess its not hard to say to someone
