What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

When someone tries to cheer me up by saying that some people have it worse... how is that supposed to cheer me up? That there are people in a worse situation than me, or whomever is being told that, is not something to be happy about!
Preach. I feel like I already tell myself that so many people have it worse. However, what you're going through shouldn't be compared to others or minimized in any way.

Feel your feelings because they are valid. And direct me to anyone that needs a good throat-punching for you 🤭😘

It does help me to remember that somebody always has it worse. Not that I'm cheering for that, but it helps me pull myself out of the muddy puddle of self-pity that I'm dealing with at the time.

And that's fine. But it's neither the sympathetic nor empathetic response someone is looking for when they are talking to someone else about what is happening.

It's one thing to minimize your problems in your mind as a coping mechanism. It's another altogether when you are seeking a shoulder, an ear, advice, whatever, and that is their response.

I know, for me, when that's what happens, I don't go to that person anymore with what's wrong. If their response is pointing out that someone has it worse than me, well, I can figure that out on my own.

Sometimes, someone just needs someone to say they understand, it sucks, offer them a hug/drink/cake/etc, let them cry/yell/laugh/etc, and be there in whatever way they need.

I never tell anyone else that someone else has it worse. I agree that that can come off as condescending or patronizing. I only use that philosophy for my own benefit.
 
This conference call has run 30 minutes over because the dipshits think we are all here for stories.
He wont stop asking questions, she won't stop answering them and they're both about to go take a piss with me.
 
It wasn't anyone on here, but thanks for the offer of throat punching! May I keep it in reserve please?

What I was trying to say was that thinking about other people being in a worse place than me just makes me feel for those people too. I want everyone to be happy. (Not too much to ask, is it?! :ROFLMAO:)
No, I get that too. Thinking of people in worse situations definitely doesn't help.

You get one throat-punch in reserve. Locked and loaded. Only cuz you're aight 😉
 
Might fuck around and spend tomorrow putting together Dollar Tree gift baskets for my collection of tig ol’ bittie skanks.
 
Apparently immediately watching Cobra Kai as soon as it comes out is more important 🙄 smh

Anyone have any ideas? My schedule will apparently be wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open 😒
