We don't always know what is going on with other people. The girl who broke up with her boyfriend may be dealing with her first broken heart, or for all we know he's an abusive twat, or they were engaged and he cheated, or any number of possibilities. There is often more to the story than what we hear.
I don't play the my crap is worse than your crap game. Just because I'm not homeless and starving in a war zone, doesn't mean I'm not entitled to feel bad about what I'm dealing with or even be depressed about it. But other than gaining perspective by reminding myself of the good things I do have ( I have a job, other people are unemployed for example), I refuse to judge other people, since we rarely have all the facts.
We don't' know if they have mental health issues, body issues or what happened in their past to make them see it as worse than we see it.
