It's disheartening to feel under acknowledged and under recognized for achievements or sufferings just because they have a sadder story to tell, it's invalidating! I remember struggling with depression and no one cared but my classmate who also struggled with depression received a lot of empathy because everyone knew that her mom had cancer. But honestly, there is no such thing as not having trauma, everyone has their own problems. I've noticed the ones who receive recognition for the achievements or sufferings are those who are more vocal about the disadvantages that they have in life. I think that I shared my trauma stories related to my depression then perhaps my experiences would be more validated. But it is a difficult thing to do, and for now, I am ok with acknowledging myself and celebrating my own wins even if no one recognizes them as an achievement. Your experiences are valid, your achievements are worthy of recognition, don't let other's judgement bring you down!

Being a topper since I was in kindergarten has made others expectations reach a crazy level.
When I achieve something which is good enough for me. Others pass it on like it’s nothing. But when some other person (who’s not that privileged in terms of money and other things) achieves something similar. They cheer for him like he found the cure for cancer.

Such an interesting topic to write about.
This was so relatable.
I also feel a little privileged sometimes.
