Gaslighting me by telling me that other people have it worse than me is just manipulating me from focusing on serious things that are happening to me

Because why should I have to ignore what I’m going through when whatever the hell I’m going through is affecting my life pretty bad.
No offense but acknowledging how other people have it worse does nothing for me. Like at all. it’s sad that they're going through things but it doesn’t help my situation it doesn’t help me heal as a person either. I’m sick of people trying to manipulate my feelings. I owe myself to be upset I owe myself to pity myself too
