One of the most uncomfortable moments of my life was when one of my teachers gave me a hug because I'd mentioned that my aunt had died. I just felt kind of dirty from that. I liked the teacher, but not the sympathy.
Even the whole "I'm so sorry" thing makes me feel awkward. Okay, so someone died. Death happens. If I like the person who died, I don't want it rubbed in. If I just don't care if they died, it's just downright awkward and unwelcome.
I hate it when I receive "random sympathy".
