I’m sorry that’s happened to you, and I think that’s a good perspective. It’s sometimes hard to grapple with something that one doesn’t personally experience, but I’m glad people are slowly becoming more aware.
Just because others have it worse does not mean things are not bad.
The eye-opener here is that it's not "the way things are", it's other people doing that to you
so just because you had it bad, other people shouldn't have it better?
It's so tiring to read. You're making a reasonable point. Some people can't believe that other people behave or feel differently to themselves.
It's almost as if something that sucks for you doesn't suck for many other people.
Screw all the people who weren’t misfortunate in your exact way, I guess?
I beg of you to not assume, because you are not suffering, that the suffering of others is not real.
Sorry that people suffering is getting tiresome for you.
It's so sad how some people think other people don't have people who care about what they're up to.
