One thing I have never understood…

When you’re going through difficult times and someone tells you, “Other people are going through worse.”

Is that supposed to be comforting ?

What does that change about your situation ?

[b]Why[/b] would that make you feel better ?

And seriously, what kind of person feels [b]better[/b] for knowing others are in worse shape than they are ? 🥺

It doesn't help. It's a horrible thing for someone to say. It's just a way for the person who says this to deny your pain so they don't feel uncomfortable, or deal with your distress.

And I bet the person who says something like that would be the first to complain when something happens to them 😡😡
