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 ?

Why would that make you feel better ?

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

my feelings are relative to me and my situation. hearing that others are having a worse time doesn't cheer me at all. you can't negate life away, unfortunately!
