how now brown cow?

have anyone of you out there had this feeling, when someone else is telling you something about someone that you feel the same way for?? and then you feel obliged to like say:" aw...... everything is going to be alright...." or "its ok.. just have a little patience and its going to work out right." because that person is a good friend of yours.. but yet you know that being nice to him means being cruel to yourself......

i dont know if there is a word to describe that feeling, but it sucks.

ahhh.... how now, brown cow??
