I know what you mean V, sometimes I hear someone whine or panic about something mundane and I'm thinking "Pssssht, come back and talk to me when you've got real problems"....

Idk, sometimes though, it's not MI related and people are just flipping lucky I guess, nobody close to them has died, they've never had money trouble, let alone scurrying around to find food / rent money, they've never had their heart ripped out and torn to shreds....

I met a girl like that once, well my brother and I did, shortly after our dad and eldest brother died, and we couldn't stand her, she knew no form of disappointment, thought the world is a wonderful place and that we were cynical for not seeing it.

Thing is, we didn't dislike her or anything, we didn't begrudge her her sunny disposition, she was just way too, idk, on a whole different level. It's like she didn't live in the real world at all. We couldn't relate to her.

The reason I'm relaying this particular story, is because neither her nor my brother suffer from MI, yet we both had the same experience with this girl.

Alllll of that being said, I agree, my skin is tough because I've had to deal with more than the regular Joe, and that is ok with me.
