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’s dismissive and makes people feel guilty for having feelings. Instead of making you feel better you shame yourself and learn not to share with that person as much, which maybe, is kinda what they wanted
@itsok I think you might be right, there.
