Shouldn't both be considered serious issues? Don't people kill themselves over depression? As someone who grew up as a loner, I find this insulting... saying that other people's problems are worse than mine, when they aren't dying. Because that would require people to actually care about others rather than expecting others to care about them. I'd like to think I'm being snarky, but I really think it comes down to that. People just want only their own problems focused on and all others be damned. --- http://backloggery.com/reddthesock <cite>lightwarrior78 posted [p:902214183] in Why is it ...
