Aww, but there's no need to feel guilty just because you have more than them. I'm sure that if they were in your place they would enjoy their lives without problems just like you do right now. :) Noone chooses their lives, that's why it's important to think twice when you speak to someone, even if they seem better off than you are. I know you're a great person, Freedom_, and I know that you just wanted to protect me from my emotions, but I'm just fine, trust me! I'm not ungrateful, and I only buy what's neccessary cuz I'm kinda poor and yeah. My internet friends often feel sorry for me for living in a poor country and having no friends, and I don't understand why? I'm pretty sure that would be the same reaction of the people you know personally if they knew you are sorry for them. Noone likes to be pitied. It makes them feel like there's a reason for people to feel sorry for them, when all they want is to be accepted as normal human beings. Noone knows if they are going to have even better lives than you could ever thought of or if your life is going to be worse than it is now. That's why we should live in the present and stop comparing ourselves to others, it's just unhealthy. I'm glad if it helps you, but some people just feel uncomfortable to hear that. Of course there are worse cases than mine, but that shouldn't stop me caring about my problems or make me feel any better. It's easier if you tell me a good word or help me by listening to what I have to say. It's all that someone could ask for. Ellenna stood up for me and it made me feel like I'm not alone. I will never forget this. It will be a moment I will always cherish in my heart. But if you compare me with others, it will bring me down and cause me pain. That's why you should try to be more empathic to people instead of trying to "teach" them a lesson.
Hey thanks! I'm a bit overwhelmed, but of course delighted if I helped even a little bit.
Your comment will help me ignore people on here who jump on to nearly every comment I post on any subject to tell me how awful I am ... I know who I am but being misunderstood & misinterpreted (deliberately) annoys me for a little while and then I forget about it.
Is it normal for a doctor to...?

Wow. I'm sorry. You are so right and I'll never forget this either. You clearly have more to teach me than I have to teach you :)
