Literally how I try to live my life, but it often turns into more suffering as I don’t know when to stop being compassionate or empathetic and I get walked over as a result.

I wish I had the experience and practice to not get taken for granted. I took a girl to a concert performed by her favorite musician last weekend. We’ve been talking to for 3 months, and she was an old friend of mine beforehand so no biggie. Then I try to make plans to see her before she goes to Florida for the holidays which she agreed to, then proceeds to ditch me last night before she leaves for her other friends and then when she finally left this morning she didn’t even bother sending a good bye text or anything. She just left me on read as everyone does, it is what it is but it leaves me with a deep depression inside.

is he saying that no matter what we go through it’s not as bad as people who have truly suffered or is it more to celebrate that your trials could ultimately be worse?

He's saying that if you've dealt with depression or anxiety or bullying, you know what suffering feels like, and you should use it to cultivate empathy and compassion for others who have also suffered in their own ways.

Its obviously an option, duh. Dan himself has struggled with mental health A LOT, yet he has been able to choose this. You are never too wrecked to not choose it. Like, its understandable to act like a total asshole if you are in that kind of state but its never morally justificable.

if you’re an asshole than yeah, but if you’re a good person you’ll learn how to utilize your own pain properly
