Is it normal to feel like my problems are worse than everyone else’s?
i constantly feel like i have to have the worst problems, almost like it’s a competition. and i am aware that this is stupid and an unhealthy mindset to have. and i logically know that other people have worse problems, yet i can’t seem to internalize that thought and actually make my mind realize it. it’s almost like i feel like i’m the only person who is entitled to have problems and complain about them and be upset about them, to the point where i’m wallowing in my misery and i know i shouldn’t be doing this. it’s completely unhealthy and i HATE feeling this way because it’s disturbing to me. i keep trying to remind myself that other people have it worse and are entitled to be upset, but i just can’t get myself to actually genuinely believe it. how can i fix this????
