And usually when we complain, we do it to other people. We don't actually expect them to care that much, but we just expect them to say something like, "Yeah that sucks," or "Man, I'm sorry."
And then we go on our merry way feeling like we made them more grateful for the easy life that they live compared to our "oh so terrible" ones.
No, you have it rough. You really do, I'm sure.
But every once in a while we run into people that completely ruin the whole complaining process. I like to call these people "pity killers". These choice people have the magical ability to one-up you on your complaint by instantly telling you about something worse that happened to them.
They don't care what you are going through. They have been through worse themselves and you ought to know better than to complain to them.
And I feel bad for them and all....
But when I'm complaining, the last thing I want is for someone to tell me how happy I should be, and that my complaints aren't good enough.
But in all honestly, I complain way more about my life than I probably should.
So I'll do my best to cut it down.
But I swear, if you one-up my every-once-in-a-while complaints, I'm going to freak out.
