A close friend has said that to me a few times, and honestly it just makes me feel really bad about the state of my life.

I know she doesn't mean to be hurtful in a deliberate or conscious manner, but I find that statement to be very hurtful.

I know I can be sensitive with my feelings, but it's like saying to someone, "wow, your life is SO bad, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes!" It comes across as really insensitive, cold, and lacking empathy.

This friend has been known to lack empathy and sensitivity at times, so it's not entirely surprising, but it still hurts me whenever she says this to me. I want to turn around and snap back at her, "well your life isn't perfect either!!!!" lol.
