Venting Am I just being dramatic?

[anonymouswebuser]

It always feels like I'm the one who's being dramating, overreacting
I feel ashamed everytime I feel extremely upset with something going on in my life no matter what, the first thought that comes to mind is "People are suffering far more than you are right now, your problems are nothing compared to theirs"
But I still can't ignore the negativity my problems give me, especially with those thoughts
That's why I don't talk to anyone about them
It just feels wrong to feel slightly upset when these thoughts start flooding in and making what I'm going through seem absolutely meaningless but it just backfired and makes me feel more shitty and it just makes me feel like I'm a horrible person or that I'm not grateful enough for anything
Especially with actual people telling me multiple times that I'm just overreacting and that it's not that serious
Even though it's genuinely affecting my life, I can't seem to care enough to do anything about it
because again, maybe I'm the one who's being dramatic
I don't even know anymore, did anyone else feel this way before? :/

My mummy used to say, " If I have no shoes, why would telling me that someone has no feet cheer me up ?"
Knowing other people are in misery sure doesn't seem likely to ease yours. Just underline how shitty this world can get.
