Is it normal, i think people are always trying to compete this way

It seems like nowadays people like to compete to see who's had the hardest life, or who's 'been through the most' and if someone's been through alot, they feel they are more 'tough' and almost act like they are better than you. But it also seems that it's now glorified if someones been like set on fire, then shot, and survived a drug addiction that they are some kind of 'hero'

Like why are people trying to compete who's more 'harder' and oh so resilient to life's crap, surely you'd enjoy it more if you left it behind you.

    Half of it has been spent on the toilet so it hasn't been that bad

    Almost everyone wants their little status symbols and sometimes suffering is used as that. It's all just a sham. Not saying the suffering is a sham, I'm saying status symbols are a sham.

    I'm sorry, but anyone who has been set on fire and then shot deserves a little more respect than that... where's my 'I survived crack' t-shirt?

    I've noticed that too. Last time I was watching Top Model USA and there was a girl who had been gang raped and beaten. She was talking of it as if she had saved some african children from a war. I'm not implying that she should shut up and not talk about it but ... Mmmm it's difficult to put words on what I want to say and I fear that what I think is not actually what I'm typing and there's a big chance that I will be misunderstood. It's just that nowadays it seems that everybody is proud of the shit they've been into.

    • Exactly, and it seems like most girls on that show use their experiences as some sort of sympathy vote from the judges.

    Dude you don't even know, I was raised by an abusive goat farmer and a manic depressive stipper, I was an alcoholic at the age of 4 and addicted to crack and heroin at 10. I've been stabbed in the face like 3 times and my own goat farming father tried to drown me once in a puddle of his own piss. True story, I'm so hard, I've had such a hard life, I'm better than you bitch.
