Words of "Encouragment"

Since I've been out of a job, many caring people have come to me with words of encouragment. Many of these words have actually been very encouraging. Some of them are mildly encouraging. But every so often I'll get a word of encouragment that is actually not encouraging at all. For example:
Other Person: Before I found this job I was out of work for a year and a half.
Me: What did you do during that time?
Other Person: Character building.
I literally cannot fathom being out of work for a year and a half. Please God do not let that happen to me.
