Yeah, men have treated me like shit too, and other women haven't been nice either. Try not to cry about it. Grow up.

    pretends like my unique experience is the same as hers

    I think you have a serious problem that is hard to explain but makes you think that your personal experiences are special. It's a sort of lack of empathy or a dissociation from others or a deep narcissism. But all those descriptions are offensive and muddy the water rather than allow you to be self reflective and grow. As useless as it might be I'm going to try just in case there is some part of you that can appreciate constructive criticism.

    Doesn’t care about shit except for them selves.

    This describes the reason YOU feel that your experience is different. You don't care that the same thing happened to others. You don't feel thier pain so you can't believe they felt it like you did. And what is more, you are offended that they handled it differently because it invalidates your reaction. So you react by denying that their experience is the same.

    You would do much better to accept that superficial differences are not meaningful. This will give you the ability to see your own situation from a different perspective. You will have the opportunity to learn from others. From thier mistakes AND thier successes. If you can accept that there are others who handle situations better than you do then you can learn from them and do better for yourself.

      He or she gave you some advice on how to process your emotions and be a better person. I don't understand how you got an offended tone from that, they're trying to help you.

        I appreciated his insightful comment and figured you wouldn't, so I thought I'd say something. Is that what virtue signaling is?
