I had this one old best friend, who would always tell me that I had a lot to be grateful for and there were other people worse off than me- it might have been true, but I don't feel like that ever really helped me feel better to be honest. Pain at the end of the day is still pain, trauma at the end of the day is still trauma and our individual experiences will shape how we react. I've cried of "small" stuff but at the time it was a build up of everything else.
