And you are luckier than a lot of people for not having abusive parents. Or having two parents in the first place seeing as a lot of people lose a parent while young. ETCETCETC. Using the whole "BAAAWWW, i have it worse :(" only has weight if you're willing to accept that people think the same thing about you with the added bonus that you sound like a self-centered douche.

tl;dr: The world doesn't involve around you and people can have gone through a difficult time even with having had things you envy.

IAWTC!

Just because some people are lucky in comparison to other people does not mean that nothing bad ever happened in their life, or that they don't have a right to feel badly about it. They didn't say they had it the worst ever, they said they felt envy when they found out someone went through the same problems as well and had a better outcome, how is that surprising or wrong? They made it a secret, one would assume that they're not going around BAWWW'ing over it as your said.

tl;dr: Try getting over yourself.

My comment. Did you read it? Cause that's what it said, in a nutshell. OP is being hypocritical in wanting the "right" to feel bad about her issues while undermining someone elses.

They didn't say they had it the worst ever, they said they felt envy when they found out someone went through the same problems as well and had a better outcome

Except she didn't just say she envied him. She said he was "really lucky" without knowing the extent of his mental illness and his history just because objectively she felt she had it worse. Though for all we know he was much sicker than her and that's the reason why his parents accepted it as real; they had no choice because it was so severe. In that case can you really argue one is better than the other? Not too mention that he had OCD, not only depression so their situations aren't all that similar in the first place.

tl;dr: OP is so obsessed with her own issues that she can't accept that someone who had something she didn't could also be unlucky in having a early onset mental illness. That's self-centered bullshit.

THIS.

Wow, you are jumping to a lot of conclusions there with very little information.

tl;dr: I hope you yourself get a little less obsessed with tearing people down without asking for clarification first. How many times have people have needed to clarify their secrets before in comments? All the time. So basically, calm down.

But basically I am done engaging with you on this, it appears to be a useless argument because you are a little too emotionally charged on this.

The OP and yourself jumped to just as many conclusions as me. Besides, if the secret needs clarification it's a shitty secret in the first place.

it appears to be a useless argument because you are a little too emotionally charged on this.

... Says the girl who felt the need to jump in and defend a random stranger on the internet. I have never even seen anything with Jesse in it. I don't give a shit about Jesse Eisenberg. I just get annoyed by all the people playing opression/abuse/"I-have-it-worse-than-you" olympics on the internet. And, you know, the fact that they put this secret on livejournal specifically so people could comment on it.

Buuut primarily it's just a way for me to fight boredom at 1 am in the morning when I really should be sleeping. It's been a little below avarage in entertainment value today, but it's better than nothing.

Sounds more like insomnia to me, but if fighting on the internet helps you to sleep then by all means...

Meh, getting sleep isn't really a problem seing as I have some (not so) lovely pills I have to take before bed that makes me pass out. Sometimes you just don't want to sleep, though? Like when you're worrying about stuff and want time to pass more slowly. Then arguing is good because it gets your mind off it and keeps you awake. Don't get me wrong; I stand by what I said, but usually I wouldn't have bothered replying to something like this.

OP is so obsessed with her own issues that she can't accept that someone who had something she didn't could also be unlucky in having a early onset mental illness. That's self-centered bullshit.

Really?

It does seem like they are a little envious, but more than that I feel like the OP is mostly questioning the way people think about him and treat him because he was fortuitous with the treatment of his mental illness, and grew up in a supportive and understanding environment.

Sure, they may seem a tad envious, but I think the OP is saying "He's not poor; he's lucky. Why do people make such a huge fuss about his mental illness?" instead of "My life was shitty. He was so lucky. This sucks. Why do people like him?!"

He's not poor; he's lucky

Exactly. Which is what I disagree with it. It's completely subjective. What she's saying is "He's lucky, while me on the other hand am not". But that makes no sense because just in having two non-abusive parents alive shes so freaking lucky in comparison to a lot of other people. It's hypocritical and self-centered. Especially since we know nothing about why his parents accepted it. Like I said, he might have been so ill that ignoring it is impossible, in which case I'd argue that he wasn't luckier than her at all.

*revolve

Everyone fights their own battles. :c There's no use comparing them one way or another, and that goes for both OP and your first statement. It just breeds judgmental attitudes all around.

I'm not picking on you here; I just have a lot of compassion for others, I suppose.
