Little Personal Thought
A lot of my friends are awesome supportive people, but I've been thinking today of all the little times I have to step back from them and think about what they say or what they do that makes me ask "why".
They have a tendency to say "This awful thing happened to me and I lived through it" and then another person will go "Yeah well imagine that times ten, i lived though that, so suck it." and they laugh and joke about that pain and i know at one time it was really real. I personally have been though emotional and psychological pain. I dont like to talk about it because its just not happy to me.
I really don't understand if you've been though pain and someone else goes yeah me too, why is there gratification in confirming your pain was worse. Getting a paper cut can be just as painful or even more so than cutting yourself with a kitchen knife (i have actually done this). So why do you have that need to clarify i've been though worse shit that you?
