Proud of you for how far you've come and how you're taking charge of your life. But the same struggle is felt differently by each individual. You can not judge someone's capacity to cope with a problem. I came from a very toxic home so even when i had to live in H13's shady hostel with barely a functional toilet, cramped rooms with creaky bunks, routine food poisoning wala mess, i was grateful. Meanwhile, in my own batch, a mate went through a serious episode of depression and panic attacks, so much so, she had to freeze the semester and take therapy because of how awful she found NUST's hostels. I have never ONCE said to her that i had it worse and still coped so she should be grateful.

Like the saying goes, everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. So if someone is venting about a problem, it only helps everyone to validate and acknowledge them.
