You also don't know what people are struggling with

It's not a competition though

What a shitty take on life...

What an emotionally immature meme, life isn’t a competition. It can be hard for people even when some have benefits and circumstances others don’t. You don’t know every detail and all of the context to everyone and trying to compete in the struggle Olympics doesn’t make you any more special than anyone else. You have no right to more sympathy just because you may have things harder:

Life sucks for us all in one way or another. How about learning some empathy instead of trying to turn your struggles into a badge to flex on others with.

You heard it here folks! There is only one way to have hardship in life!

Seems like the whole “a real man does ____” which is always something the speaker does.

Doesn’t really matter what station in life you’re at, complaining is wasted effort

Sometimes people need space to come to terms with their frustration (i.e. bitch to someone about it) before they can act constructively to tackle the issue.
