If it's your belief though that nothing I'm saying matters, then I can back off. I am a tad frustrated that I'm being pushed off like this, but there's nothing I can do to even give a sense of comfort if I'm not allowed to.

As someone who has to help others with their mental health and having to realize my own mental health issues, the reason why your attempted at “comfort” won’t be received as well as you would like isn’t because of personal dislike towards you, but because that kind of optimistic coping mechanism…
… doesn’t really work as well as you want to think it will. Trust me, my persona is the “optimistic American Eagle”, but that mindset doesn’t work for me as much as I would like it too, but that’s not the only thing.
People handle their own mental health much differently, and unless what they do…
Is TRULY harmful and dangerous to themselves, no matter who it is, critiquing someone’s coping mechanisms and suggesting alternatives isn’t really a good idea, especially with who people you don’t really know personally.
As Shey said, I know you mean well, but what you are offering doesn’t help
Again, I know you mean well, but the reason why people with mental health problems won’t accept your advice is because won’t help them as much as you think it will, either as a fix or even a mere coping mechanism.
The only one who offered well meaning but not really good mental health advice to those who are psychologically hurting, and as mentioned, not everyone is going to reject your offer as cordially as Shey, partially because of the mental state they so happened to be in when you offer said advice.
