a girl at my school just said this to me on facebook:
"You're born on the same day as my grandma memories. I will always remember her. She means the world to me. Sorry I just saw that you liked my dp and I went on your thing and it doesn't have that much and I saw your birthday and yeah...she's still alive, I just haven't seen her in a long time. You probably don't want to know this but yeah, fact of my life. Take care Josh."

should I reply to that? And what Am I supposed to say?
I dont want to say something that will make me look bad/weird (I dont want it to look like I dont care, but I dont want it to look like im being too nice/putting to much emphasis into what im saying either)

*I dont know if this Is the right section to ask this in because she isnt really my friend (I dont know her that well )

"Oh, that's interesting! I hope you get to see her soon."

OR

"Oh, that's nice"

OR

"Well, <BIRTHDAY> is a pretty cool day!"

The first one is saying that's infesting, the second is saying I don't care but being polite, the third one is saying hey that's funny, I'm glad you messaged me.

Or just come up with something like that that helps you say what you would say but in a nice way. Don't be rude, even if you couldn't care less about her grandma.

I'd go for the first one. The second one just sounds sarcastic.

he's probably right. I'd be the one to respond sarcastically. the first one is a little more respectful without being too friendly

Yes the first one is fine.
