Gah. Don't you just hate it when...?

Someone begins bragging about some "big bad things" and how "terrible" their life is, and you just want to scream "Shut the **** up! My life is way worse than yours, yours is pretty princess life compared to mine!"

Like today, this girl was talking about "Oh and my parents are divprced, and my dad has this biotchy girlfriend..." And I just wanted to yell "SHUT UP." But no-no. Everyone listened to her and said "I'm sorry." I could tell that at some aspect, she was fibbing. What she was telling could not possibly be sad. She made it sad.

Well, don't you just hate it?

Update:

Excuse me, bad spelling.

    Yes, it can get on your nerves sometimes. People have a tendency to make the experiences they are having, so much bigger than anyone else's. We all have the same feelings we just react differently according to our personalities. Let's face it, some are not as strong as others. Just bear with them, give them support if you can. If your problems are overwhelming you at the time, back away quietly and tend to your own needs at the time. So sorry you feel this way. Hope it gets better.

  • I see what you are saying, but sometimes it helps other people to talk about it, and maybe fib a little, and if someone is willing to listen, more power to them. Everyone needs someone. It does get annoying though when it is a pity party all the time, and that person is stealing all the thunder. Just try and ignore it, and maybe present your own argument about the situation. Maybe you could turn it in to a debate!!!

    People rely on self pity and for others to feel bad for them so theres not much u can do about it.Just give her the benefit of the doubt and get on with ur life.

    why don't you do the same, maybe that will give you some relief of her and of your bottled up anger?? Everyone needs to bring out some inner sadness sometimes, try it, it may help....

    no don't do that

    if you can give them a hug do it

    and say God loves you

    and if you can't give them a hug still tell them God loves you so much

    tell them that God does not give them more than they can handle
