"No matter what you're going through, someone has it worse."
I've hated this statement for years and repudiate it back to whoever says it to me.
I used to like a guy who I found out was good friends with one of my school day bullies. I remember telling him how his friend made my life miserable both in middle school and HS.
He told me how the bully had a horrible relationship with his parents who later threw him out of the house.
He ended up on the streets, sleeping in dumpsters, and basically homeless at that point.
You know what I said to the dude?
"I'm sorry he went through that. But what does that have to do with him treating me so bad? With him being a douche to me? What did I do to him to deserve being treated this way?" He fumbled at his words and then kept silent.
Needless to say, I didn't bother with him afterwards.
