I hate it when anyone goes "At least you've got X..." I get that it's trying to point out the good things.. but it just invalidates the way that I feel. It's like "Hey, you shouldn't feel this way because you've got X". It just makes me angry and I would like to do "Yes, maybe I have X but it feels meaningless to me right now. Instead I could point out to you how I'm missing A, B, and C to show you that things aren't all balanced out in my life like you seem to think."
