you know what I hate? when I try to talk about a situation or issue with someone and they just keep trying to top my situation with things that are worse in their life. if you are my friend and I am going to you for help, please don’t take that moment to try and make me feel better for myself by feeling bad for you. “if it makes you feel better” situations are not comfortable or necessary; I am not looking for someone to top me on bad situations. you feel worse than me? good for you, when you want to come to me for advice or help, I’ll be there. until then, I would appreciate reciprocation in the form of comfort, at the very least.

if that made any sense to anyone, I applaud them. I can’t find the proper words and I am so exhausted. /rant. /vent.
