Everybody has problems. Even if they are bad, somebody always has worse, and someone always has better. Some people have problems that are as bad as yours, or his, or hers, just different. To say to some one "My Problems are Worse Than yours!" is to slap them in the face. They might as well be saying "I am too selfish and concerned with my problems to even think about what hardships you may be facing or feeling!"
I know how it feels to have that said to you, and how it feels to say it. It feels bad both ways. Every one should be there for each other, and should set aside their problems for a second. We need to breathe and try to help each other or we won't ever feel any better. To say something like that will only make both parties feel flustered, frustrated, and worse.
