I always feel guilty about venting. I always feel like I shouldn't because someone is always going through something worse right? Sometimes I try and reach out. It's always the same thing.
"Well my problems are worse"
"Me too XD"
"Oh ok"
I always act like those responses are fine, but in reality, they're not.
Never compare your pain to someone else's. Your situation might be worse, but you could've made theirs worse by saying that.
If you're gonna say, "me too XD" put an apology. It's just common courtesy.
Never say "oh ok" and just leave it at that. It feels like we're not cared about.
I have a lot of problems right now. I really do. Life is kinda hard. I never really vent about it because whats the point? In the end, its usually just me venting and someone saying "yeah I went through the same thing" which doesn't help. It makes me feel like I should be over it right now.
When you guys vent, dont be afraid to express how something someone reacted with made you feel.
And never ever let someone tell you how to feel.
If someone vents to you, apologize. It should be the first thing you do.
Let's just stop making everyone's life harder. There's already enough hate in the world.
