Re: Live without

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, no. I've always been lucky in life. My apartment isn't lovely, but it's fine.

Also uhh... You know, you wanted to measure you experiences against everyone else's, so people are giving you what they've experienced, and you're out here doling out judgements about which situations are bad and which are not. That's... that's kinda shitty. They're JUST telling you what their nearest equivalent experience is, not saying they're in the same kind. So uh. I'd suggest you tone it down.

Re: Live without

This.

You might be coming across as kind of insensitive, OP.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to apologize to everyone I've offended, and I'm kicking myself for phrasing it so poorly, and going about it the completely wrong.

My intention was never to try to win any kind of one-uppance game with other people, and my comments on other peoples' experience weren't meant to be judgmental. I was attempting and failing to clarify the kinds of criteria I meant.

But I never wanted to diminish other peoples' experiences or feelings about them. These kinds of situations are scary and heart breaking, and I'm acutely aware of that. What I was trying to to was distinguish between general short term hardship, and long term deprivation or poverty.

I've been having a hard time framing and qualifying what I meant, and unfortunately I've sounded like I was discounting others. I'm sorry for my phrasing, my intent was never to disqualify someone's experience because they were different than mine. I was only trying to clarify better the issue I was looking for.

I have learned other things, namely that many people have suffered some kind of hardship in their lives that have really shaped them, and for that I'm glad I've learned it. I am sorry that I have hurt people in the process, though.

"Personally, no." Anon

No worries. I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to let you know how you're coming off, as an outsider. I'm sure I've needed the same thing a million times.

Anyway, think of the responses as less "being similar" and more "No, but this is the closest I've been," since it sounded like you wanted to compare your experiences with those of other people.

Off topic, but I read your response about kids in school making fun of you for not having access to shower and wow. I can't even imagine. I know kids are insensitive dicks and tend to look down on anyone who isn't similar, but damn. I mean, just being less rich can be strange. I started to notice it in late middle and high school that I just didn't get as much for Christmas and I felt weird, and that's like, the most minor fucking thing EVER. Seriously, it's almost nothing. If something that insignificant can be felt... I can't even imagine.
