I hate this bullshit. What person ever has been helped by hearing someone tell them how it could be worse or about the "starving children in Africa"?

I'm assuming that your life is 100% awesome and rosy and you never experience any frustration or vent to anyone about your troubles, right? By your own standard, you really shouldn't, because literally billions have it worse than you.

EDIT: I also flagged you for the childish name-calling.
