How do you respond to the friend who tries to be logical at you when you are having a bad time?

We all have those friends hopefully few who are more worried about pointing out the flaws in your anger, sadness or confusion than trying to make you feel better or listening to you. These may be good friends of yours, but when you’re on the verge of tears, you don’t want these people around.

So, fluther, how do you respond to these people when you are sad, angry or confused?

Yes, something personal prompted this question, but I’d rather not talk about it until after I’ve read a few responses.
