This is something that I ask myself on a constant basis. Do my issues even count as real problems? Or am I just complaining over nothing?
You see, I don't have any addictions, no severe domestic issues with family, no massive trauma, and no developmental problems, etc...
And, while I am no casanova, I don't struggle with talking to girls. True, I don't initiate conversations and tend to let it happen organically but, I don't have unrealistic expectations or desires when talking to them. I did have some unhealthy relationships though.
I am mildly bipolar but I take medication so the symptoms are mostly managed. I can be a bit socially awkward sometimes, I struggle with loneliness and stress from catastrophising thinking. I also used to have anger issues buy I've mostly dealt with that. Haven't been angry for more than a decade now due, in part, to sports and even video games and music which can act as energy outlets.
The only somewhat real problem that I think I have is my anxiety which does tend to be debilitating at times if I let it.
Anyway, felt like sharing that since I do ask myself this question whenever I hear stories from people with real problems.
(Edit) Forgot to ask my question. Is it all a matter of perspective?
