It resembles this, only without getting to meet Jeff Goldblum.

It is of no comfort at all. It is also NOT factual.
There are people who have it worse than me (some of them are on this thread) but they do not make up most
people in the world. I suspect you have a very distorted idea of what most people's lives in the world are actually like.
I'm speaking globally, as I said.
1,000,000 in the Chinese concentration/re-education camps, as an example.
The Tibetan persecution by the Chinese government.
The Syrian crisis is ongoing.
Venezuela, another one.
African warlords running amok.
Afghanistan warlords running amok.
Human slave trade.
Indian poverty causing millions not even having electricity.
Bangladeshi ethnic genocide.
Aboriginal social issues.
Massive amounts of homeless people throughout the world.
This is not an attack on you.

So basically you feel the problem here is I am a winy ignorant person who knows nothing about anyone else's problems or the world and has no right to feel sorry for themselves EVER because I don't have REAL problems like other people.
No the problem is your maths is crap, that is NOT most people in the world.

And one must consider those with chronic ailments,
Those who have terminal illnesses.
Those with mental illness.
1 in 5 people will experience a mental disorder in their lifetime at some stage.
No one has a monopoly on suffering in this godforsaken life system we were forced into.
Most of us are in deep doo-doo through no fault of our own.
Life's a biatch and then you die. <shrug>
You are wrong about my attitude towards you.
I don't see you as whiny.
That is your interpretation of my intention/mindset.
I'm simply pointing out that a personal attitude is something to be considered.
Embracing anger is cathartic in some situations.
Feel free to hate me if it makes you feel better.
And I acknowledge there is nothing I can do to change your mind about me.
Such is life. <shrug>
The sign said: "Smile, things could be worse."
So I smiled,
And sure enough,
Things got worse.

I do not hate you. I do not hate anyone.
You did however upset me twice at points when I felt particularly low. Your own wording suggests that you knew your comment that most people in the world are worse off than me would not be welcome to me so I question your motive in posting it when I am clearly upset and this is the Haven.
You are also still insisting that it is true, IT IS NOT TRUE. You think you can judge whether it is or isn't, YOU CAN'T.
Since I have nowhere else to talk about my problems I came here. Those who did not think they were very large were at liberty to ignore them. To say that most people in the world are worse off than me was to dismiss my problems as not much.
You keep coming up with lists of people suffering which is insulting. I do not disagree with you due to ignorance and am not in need of an education of the worlds misery. I disagree with you because MOST people in the world are not worse off than me. Do you understand that most people means more than half?
I wanted to open up about my problems, you've made that impossible.
