How do you know she’s not the victim? You have no idea what’s going on in somebody else else’s life. People are coming to work every day with baggage You couldn’t even begin to comprehend. How about having some grace because someday you could be the one who needs it.
1. We all go through hard times. But when someone is constantly dealing with one significant tragedy after another, it may be a red flag.
2. People are highly perceptive. If it feels off or like someone isn't being truthful, there's a good chance there is a reason why the vibe feels off.
It also may just be their life. It’s actually none of your business if people are constantly dealing with tragedies. How have we gotten so far from the way God made us to be, with compassion for one another, where we are annoyed by other people’s tragedies and misfortune instead of feeling genuine compassion for them? You sound like a giant red flag. Who are these “ highly perceptive people” you are speaking about? I’m assuming you’re lumping yourself into that category and one could make the same argument that your vibe sounds way off because you’re judging your coworkers when you should be staying in your own lane, and rather than assuming people are lying about their misfortunes (weird flex, btw) if you are going to have an opinion about something that is absolutely none of your business try imagining how hard it must be to live in their shoes.
Wow! Take a chill pill....
OP asked a valid question and was looking for helpful insights. You immediately assumed that they were a jerk and not being sympathetic without knowing any facts or allowing them to explain what happened. I'm not saying that I'm more insightful than anyone else. But I also don't jump to conclusions. And sometimes, the person who is in the situation has a valid reason for feeling the way they do and it shouldn't immediately be dismissed.
It's all on them. Think of it this way do they go home with you? No. Are they a family member? No. I say ignore them and just watch what will happen if they keep up that behavior.

Very true! That might be the best way to go about it
