Comparative Suffering

It goes in two directions. The first looks like humility — "I shouldn't complain, other people have it worse." The second looks like connection — "Oh, you think that's bad?" One erases you. The other erases them. Neither one is actually connecting. This episode breaks down comparative suffering, why we do it, where we learned it, and the one step both sides skipped. Your pain is not a competition. It never was.
