Stand up for yourself.

For those who sit there and assume they have it the worst, don't let anyone make you think you can't think like that. Go ahead. Die in your misery. It's yours after all. It's natural to empathize with yourself, it's natural to feel targeted. For someone to judge your life and tell you to be more thankful and to stop bitching because someone has it worse than you, is UNCALLED FOR. A reality check, that's what they call it, right? Well give them a reality check. Tell them to step out because they don't live your life and until they do, they can't pass such remarks about it. If they think they can and they still do, then let them know that you did find someone who has it worse you after all. That oughta shut them up.
