Anguish

Have you ever been expected to languish in anguish when other people behave indifferently to your psychological pain?

Have you ever been expected to provide sympathy for someone else's anguish while ignoring your own, perhaps including your own grief, pain and/or fear?

Has your anguish ever caused you to experience emotional blunting and/or apathy?

Has anyone ever responded to your distress by telling you that there are people much worse off than yourself?

Perhaps someone has responded to your pain by flippantly telling you that at least you are not dead yet.
