I don't know why you would go on the "people talking about events" platform and being surprised people are talking about events that aren't happy. That's just poor planning. I mean yeah, be there for your friends, but you should be able to have light or pleasant conversation pretty often, and steer away from troubling topics when you aren't up for it, far easier than online.
