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 ? 🥺

People are mental.
We mean well but we can't find or know the right things to say or not to say,
words are odd creatures.

See, in this case for example, it'd be so much better to be empathic, like Deanna Troi or better yet her mother who is a full Betazoid , Lwaxana Troi .
Lwaxana is a full empath, whereas her daughter Deanna, who is half human, is therefore half empathic.
