Just to make this clear, just because other people are suffering more than you, or has lived through more difficult times, does not make your current pain invalid. Look on the bright side is the very least comforting thing you could possibly say to someone. Furthermore, if someone trusts you enough to open up to you about something theyre struggling with, shut up and listen. Just be there for them. Talking about how you endured something similar or worse isnt helping. Youre trying to cancel out their hurt. Its not about you. For instance, your friend passes away. You try to talk to someone about it, but they disregard your grieving, and talk about how their family member passed away once. While that is sad, it does not mean that what youre feeling is any less important. Im tired of watching people carry their pain alone for fear of seeming selfish or ungrateful. Next time someone trusts you enough to share whats hurting them with you, treat them as you would want to be treated. Were all just humans, try to be a decent one.
