I think it's one of those faulty human traits to believe that your situation is a billion times worse than anything ever, and no one else has ever experienced this horribleness that you feel.

Your problems are always more important than others' problems, regardless of what they are. We could both have our identical iPhones destroyed with no chance for a free replacement, but you will tell me to "get over it" while completely freaking out about yours. It's human nature.theloneassassin said:

no one cares. if it doesn't involve them or someone they "care about" then they generally dont give a shit about the rest of us. not to generalize, but this just happened to me. i had a job and then the new girl makes shit up and gets me fired so her friend can work. talk about bs.
I've come to the conclusion that it's somewhat modern for people to say that life sucks... I mean surely, it does at times (not to offend anyone, of course), but the problem is that people tend to forget about the little stuff. Have no friends? Go make some! Grab a beer and wait for the sunrise. Plant flowers, watch clouds, go to a bar, get drunk and start a fight - the little things! People are afraid nowadays - from themselves. And they have chains that confind them and don't let themselves out in the light - I think that's the problem.
Well, as someone who complains about their life often, I do have periods of guilt when I think of people who have it much worse than I could even imagine.
In a means to make it ok to me though, I just figure, a paper cut or a missing arm, both deserve medical aid...just the paper cut only needs a band-aid.

Interesting, I saw this on "Strange Sex" the guy got himself castrated because it was so badHobo Steve said:
For the third time, it is worse once you have started having sex, and then been forced to stopTrezu said:
Hell, iunno. Most of my old friends from high school killed themselves or died in car crashes, I nearly died from poisoning a few years back, and I have chronic kidney stones which brings about near constant pain that not even Vicodin can stop. Top that with ultra-conservative parents who rage at me for being a bisexual atheist and you pretty much cover the list of unhappy.
So yeah, my life sucks. Just because people suffer worse elsewhere doesn't mean that my life is nothing but gumdrops and rainbows. There's degrees of suckage, and I suppose I'm closer to the "life's great" line than the "what did I do to deserve such suffering" one.
