It gets even worse when they decide to play "your blues ain't as bad as mine" or a facsimile thereof. <br /><br />Don't give people like that the time of day, let alone your attention. They aren't worth it.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088212709652359108.post-18151747663154256772009-05-10T10:34:00.000-04:002009-05-10T10:34:00.000-04:00I HATE it when people say things like that! I'm no...I HATE it when people say things like that! I'm not sure I can count the number of times people have said to me, "but you're so lucky; look at all you've got!" (during bouts of depression). But you don't KNOW that! Even if you actually knew all of my circumstances, you still wouldn't know what it's like to BE me. You can't possibly know whether or not my life is hard. <br /><br />E, I don't think you should even have to justify yourself. Although you've obviously put things in terms that people can understand, I don't think you should need to explain why your life isn't easy-as-pie; I wish people would just take your word for it (because they really don't have the means to judge for themselves). <br /><br />-SEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088212709652359108.post-17354852284951978312009-05-10T04:41:00.000-04:002009-05-10T04:41:00.000-04:00Maybe his life at 20something was HORRIBLE, and he...Maybe his life at 20something was HORRIBLE, and he's now full of bitterness and envy over everyone else, who he assumes have better lives than he did. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088212709652359108.post-67168692315039841102009-05-10T01:13:00.000-04:002009-05-10T01:13:00.000-04:00Yeah.
