Ever tell someone that you're hurting and they boast to you that 'that's nothing, here's what I'vew got to deal with....' or something similar in which they basically tell you that your pain is dwarfed in scale to theirs.
If you want me to sympathize with you, how about not telling me that my feelings are bullshit.
Lately I've been in a pretty piss poor mood. Real depressed, completely detatched and unmotivated. Of the few p0eople whom I talk to about this, all seem to take that stance.

Getting irritated by this is probably pointless, but it happened thrice in a row today. They say the true test of maturity is being able to understand or imagine the pain of others' but we all know this is utter horse shit. Still it would be nice to hear 'oh wow, that sucks, im sorry' or some similar hollow words before comparing or contrasting with their own experiences, I usually atleast do that, and yeah, I'll be the first to admit that these are usually hollow words, but it's still neccessary to make it seem like you're not just waiting for your turn to talk.
