"You shouldn't be upset over this."

I honestly hate it when people try to cheer me up when I'm upset by telling me I'm being irrational.


Is it honestly so hard to realize that people want their emotions to be validated? You don't need a degree in psychology to understand this! Hell, you don't even need to understand psychology at all, it's really just common sense.


Would you like it if someone said you're wrong for feeling a certain way about something?

    No, however someone really shouldn't let minor things get to them. I'm not saying this to be insensitive, I'm just saying that getting upset over minor things isn't exactly healthy.


    I don't know the context for this rant is though, so sorry if I come off as a jerk here.


    I.E.: Let me share with something minor. I haven't really made accounts for anything on the internet until I was 15-16 years old. Now I am 19 years old and I feel like an idiot, I know it's minor so I don't really let it get to me if I can.

    I'm not really seeing the problem here, however trivial it may be.

    I know it's kind of silly to be bothered by it. Ah wells.


    Oh yeah, there is one other possibility. They might just be douchebags, who can't really empathize with other people.


    v That is amusing as hell to me. Thanks.

    People also shouldn't presumptively judge other people's problems to be minor, especially when they're doing so from a place of privilege.

    This reminds me of a house party I've been to a month ago.


    I won't get into details, but the relevant thing is that the host's glass table got broken while she was napping. Naturally, she was pissed off as fuck when she woke up and told us all to GTFO. Despite us urging her to shut up and leave her alone, a friend kept pestering her about how she's "acting irrational", and how she has no right to kick her out of her apartment (!), because she has known us for several years and knows that we aren't guilty for it (the ones that did literally ran away before she woke up; long story).


    It ended with the host breaking down in tears and locking herself in her room.
