Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They only make me feel worse because I know that they are only speaking these words when the times are the hardest for me!.!.!.

It's like when a child gets hurt and you ask me "Are you okay! You're bleeding!!!"
Words like those allow us to realize moments that we subconsciously try to deter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not at all!.
I'm a realist!. Not an optimist, not a pessimist, a realist!.
The glass is neither half full or half empty, it's half, that's it!.
So if someone tells me "everything's gonna be ok", and I know it's not, their words mean nothing!. They do not fall on deaf ears, because I know they're trying to comfort me and I take that into consideration, but I know that there words are just comfort words not truth!. I usually know when "everything's gonna be ok", and if it is I accept it, if it isn't I accept that as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually dislike those words, 'Everything will be ok', which people utter almost mindlessly/mechanically, without knowing the machanics involved!.!.!.like telling it to a Terminally ill patient!. Try asking them how!? and they have nothing more to say!

If those magic words are preceded with some solid/useful/time-tested advice or suggestion, then they do carry weight and elicit hope!. Otherwise they are mere hollow words!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If people I trust tell me that they think everything will be OK it does make me feel a little better (not that I necessarily think they are right, just that I know they aren't just saying so for the sake of staying positive)!.

When I'm scared of something, but I'm from Bosnia and survived the war there so I'm kinda thought to feel safe even when it's not so safe!. So, I don't need often that people convince me that everything is going to be OK!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not at all!. It's a loud of rubbish and a trite cliche!. Life sucks and you make your own decisions and your own luck!. If I was upset and someone said "everything will be ok" I'd likely resort to physical violence!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.this is a comfort to me if the situation is grievous, otherwise, I don't really "need" to hear these words over and over to feel safeWww@QuestionHome@Com
