To me people trying to over-sympathize is even more insulting. Like when I was a kid I was diagnosed with ADD. The doctor talked in this fake, overly nice tone, and it was just insulting as hell.
"It's ok, there's nothing wrong with you. We're just here to help out out, ok."
To me, I interpret that type of attitude as
"I'm being super nice to you, because you are so fucked up that it would be insulting not to be super nice. How dare I insult someone in YOUR position"
