Different strokes for different folks.
I certainly find the compulsory optimism in my country a complete pain and a substitute for a feeling culture, if you get my drift.
I would much rather someone said to me that they felt like killing themselves if we could make something of it together, which I guess begs the point you are making.
Perhaps finding a way to do this, or in some modified form.
In my country they say 'How are you?' and from long experience and stubborness I say "All right', the they say 'Just all right?', then I say 'Yes', and I think 'Oh go read a book.'
It drives me nuts.
