people play the “pain olympics”. Like this happened today Friend 1: I’m really tired, I only got 6 hours of sleep last night. Friend 2: well I only got 2 hours, so you shouldn’t be tired. like I know your tired and crabby because you only got 2 hours of sleep, but :/
this happened the other day with the same friend Me: ow my hips are really sore Friend 2: yeah well my legs, abs, hips, and arms are sore, I was at dance until 12:00 last night. I get it, but you don’t really have to make it a pain competition?

Omg I totally hate that.
It's like yeah, that sucks for you, but that does not negate the difficulty I'm going through how about saying something like. "Yeah I also got a really small amount of sleep last night so I know how tough it is,"
tl;dr; humans are assholes, let's become puppies.

I had a friend who did that
One time we went rollerblading, it was my first time so I was taking it easy when some teenage boys crashed into me. I was bruised for days.
The next day I was commenting on how much pain I was in and she acted like it was no big deal because she was sore from gymnastics, something she willingly does.

I don't really have much sympathy for people whinging about how little sleep they got and trying to one-up each other. Unless you have actual insomnia or a boss who treats you like an orphan in a ****ensian workhouse, the reason you're getting so little sleep is probably poor time-management skills causing you to pull all-nighters to get your work done.

Yeah, good point, I didn't think of some of those. I was thinking more of the students I know for whom it probably is poor time management, who don't have children or two jobs that would make it understandable. If it is in fact poor time management, I have no sympathy. It's just really annoying when people treat lack of sleep ike a competition. It's not something you should be proud of! It's unhealthy!

Yeaaah. I usually try and approach these types of phrases with friends by saying "same" or trying to console their very sad sad lack of sleep. Or whichever thing they're complaining about.
It's just downright annoying and self centered to be all like "you got 3 hours??? Well I got 15 minutes!!!" Even though at times I do get something like 15 minutes before work ahahaha..
