The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

I hate people who have it worse than me. One day, just one day, I want to feel the worst so when I am upset other people can just say "okay" instead of trying to patch me up with not-really-well-wishes like "there are people worse off than you" until I am less upset or not upset anymore.

Whenever anyone tries this bullshit on me I pull out Maslow's Hierarchy. Yes, some people have it worse than me. Yes, I'm very grateful for that. But that doesn't make my problems any less valid, it just makes them less immediately dangerous.

It sometimes makes the person shut up, but more often it just gives me a smug sense of superiority so I can feel a little better and ignore them
