The Worse Negates the Bad (also, Be Grateful for What You've Got): The logical fallacy that a bad situation stops being bad because it could be far worse, or because someone, somewhere has it even worse than you. E.g., "I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw someone who had no feet." Or, "You're protesting because you earn only $7.25 an hour? Well, I happen to know there are people in Uttar Pradesh who are doing the very same work you're doing for one tenth of what you're making, and they're glad just to have a job! You need to shut up, put down that picket sign, go back to work and thank heaven every day for what little you've got!"

I relate to this hella hard bc I don't generally talk about my problems and I'm usually the one ppl tell their problems to, and I can't help feeling sometimes that their problems are incredibly petty, but I also understand that they need to release their irritation to feel better. Even though I can have it worse, I don't put them down for it, but I also get bothered when I'm told that 'I wish I had it as good as you you're never upset about anything' and if I deny that, it becomes 'yeah but it can't be that bad bc you never talk about it'
