I've been noticing something in these threads. People would give advice to people and sometimes use their own experience as advice.
But then there are some people who post their own experience and somehow make it about themselves rather help the person who is reaching out for help.
People post here because they have no where else to go for advice and comfort. But what good does it do if they only hear people talk about themselves instead and have their problems ridiculed?
If you are in a better, same, similar, or worse situation than the person who posted the thread, that does NOT give you a right to ridicule their problems and say you're "glad I don't have it that bad" or "shut up I have it worse."
Imagine yourself in their position then and you understand their pain. Do you want someone else to feel sorrow and misery as well only because you have?
I have had my share of sorrowful experiences as well. I wouldn't want to wish them upon someone else. I try to help and give advice whenever I can to everyone who needs it, weather big or small problems. We all feel the same pain and misery as humans. And as humans, we should just come together to understand and help one another!

Indeed, that happens frequently, but I disagree with you with a few things you brought up. Perhaps someone is struggling with the same experience and are looking for help too. Maybe in some cases where a person can relate he or she offers advice on coping and things like that, and how they cope might be something that can help. I do agree with what you said about others saying they're in a worse situation. Some people cannot handle significant events like death, marriages, divorces, losing someone or anything in between those lines like others can. Also you can bring up your religious beliefs if that helps you, but don't tell someone else that your religion can help them. It helps to look at all perspectives and I believe you might understand. Not only is that a good writing skill but it becomes helpful with social skills too. What are your thoughts about my ideas >>1? Feel free to honestly answer!!

Oh yes I've also thought of something else regarding this. At times some people might feel better if they know they are not alone. That doesn't make for everyone though. I don't like to think others are like me. That connection to me and the topic agrees a bit. How should I put this?! Okay, I talked about myself for just a bit. I shouldn't make the whole comment about myself, if I am not trying to help you. Does that make sense?
