I don’t know what to say when my friend tells me something good that happened to them and it has no impact on me. I’m not a “love that for you” or “I’m so happy for you” type person, I usually just say nice or niiiiice and then give advice or maybe share a similar experience I had

  2. I have the same issue too lol. I don’t know why but I need to work on expressing validation to others who open up their good news to me. I assume the best response is , “Really? That is amazing! I knew you had it in you. How are you feeling now?” or something along those lines.

    I think that phrase has the right elements of 1. Acknowledging their achievement and 2. Seeming curious about their achievement/situation.

    I hope this helps.
