"It really irritates me too 
But as long as your are Safe I'm sure that you can weather it.  "
Absolutely it’s just something that annoys me personally, I’m not saying people shouldn’t say it  |

"Two little words seem rather a small thing to get upset about in the big scheme of things, especially when they are intended to be supportive."
It's a tense and unusual time, I suppose a lot of people will be getting irritated by small things. |

I think maybe perhaps
For You ms wood LolzordsYawning myself and a minority of others
It's not the words or their original sentiment
It's the trite platitude the "everyone " says it meme mentality
I find it unsettling
Clap once for the NHS utterly amazing
Make it weekly and condemn those who question it then I feel unsettled
It's not the words the actions or the individuals who do it
It's the herd meme repeating behaviour that
My best description is
"Unsettling"
Absolutely zero malice intended by this comment

You're right. And I'll stop saying it to all the NHS staff I speak to day in day out who are scared and tired. And when people tell me to stay safe I'll laugh and tell them not to be so silly, it's only a virus not the apocalypse or world war 3...

I dont think it's the sentiment it's the repetition of a sound bite meme and perhaps not the best words anyway
I still say my normal
Take care, look after yourself ,look after your mind
Keep strong , youre amazing
I even say stay safe
But many people inc key workers hearing the same thing 1 zillion times can find the platitude tedious
Despite it's great intentions

I agree here, it's the sound bite that people are fed up of.
On the other hand my mil has always said 'be safe' every single time we leave her company. |

Good to see we have now reached the stage that not only have we forgotten "be kind" we are now actively bemoaning people showing kindness and concern. Thousands of people dying and people are moaning about stay safe being insincere... |
