It seems that Brits say "a bit" a lot in this way:
1. It's a bit disappointing that the festival was cancelled. (p.s. Not sure about the tense here. Maybe "has been cancelled" or "It was a bit disappointing"?)
2. I'm a bit upset when I found out he lied to me.
Hopefully the examples fit.
My question around them is that, why do many of "a bit" and when do you not use it?
Like, "It's disappointing" or "I'm upset"
Do you feel the feelings are stronger or weaker when you drop "a bit"?

Often people use ‘a bit’ to mean ‘a little’… it’s a little disappointing. However, in our typically awkward English manner it can be used in a sort of sarcastic way too, to mean the opposite i.e. it’s a bit disappointing can really mean it is very disappointing. This is nothing to do with the words used, but rather the intonation and context.
