It's always been a mystery to me why people can't just accept the way that you feel and try to understand it. Instead we as people tend to tell each other how to feel or that what we are feeling must be incorrect... I hate that - I think it's one of my biggest pet peeves. 
When I'm feeling sad about something and I come to you, I really don't want you to tell me that I have no reason to feel the way I do. That isn't your call to make and frankly it's going to leave me not wanting to come to you anymore at all. 
I understand that in some situations an encouraging word to say "hey, don't let this keep on getting you down, or etc." Something like that is taken to heart, way more appropriate and probably accepted better as well. 
On the other hand - If you're just going to get nasty and possibly even raise your voice to prove your "right" in your point that I shouldn't feel the way I feel - that isn't going to get you anywhere. 
One word: Validate. 
One word: Care
One word: Respect
One word: Love
I hope that I never do this to anyone. Unless you're sinning in your emotion, there is nothing wrong with feeling SOMETHING. Afterall the Bible does say there is time for everything (Ecc3.)
Ok - That is all now ...
