Do you ever feel like your problems aren't "bad enough"? I struggle with the basics. Comparisons to my older siblings. Fights with my parents. A feeling of loneliness amongst friends. Singleness. Negative thoguhts. Just your basic teen stuff. Still, it's enough to make me cry my eyes out quietly in the dark. But then, my friends come along and rant to me. They're struggling with suicidal thoughts, abusive families, assault from strangers, scarily low grades, toxic friendgroups, diagnosed depression, eating disorders and a whole lot of other things. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and I will always care for them out of genuine love and concern. But sometimes, they're problems kind of like "belittle" mine. They don't intentionally do it, of course, but I just feel like my problems aren't "serious" enough. Like I'm just whining. idrk xoxo...
