Also. I know many people have said this before, but I'm going to say it again. Just because someone has it worse doesn't mean someone isn't allowed to be stressed out or have struggles. Just because there's homelessness or poverty or whatever is "worse" doesn't mean someone's not allowed to be stressed out about their own "smaller" problems. Yes. These things are awful. Yes there are bad things happening. But the existence of these bad things *does not* invalidate other, more "trivial" issues. People's problems are people's problems no matter how trivial they seem to you. If a person is struggling, maybe don't tell them their feelings aren't reasonable because people are dealing with worse. Struggling. Is not. A competition. Struggling. Is not. Something to quantify and rank. Struggles are struggles. Everyone's life experience is different. How about have some decency and compassion and support everyone through whatever is bothering them. Fuck.
