Anyone who has said anything along the lines of ‘your life isn’t that bad!’ when presented with someone obviously in distress, needs to knock that the fuck out.
You can’t and you shouldn’t even fucking try and change how people feel about something that is happening to them despite the fact that worse things could be happening to them.
That will not change how upset that person is. That will make that person think they can’t vent about their problems because there’s ‘people that have it much worse’ than them.
And you know what happens to the people who have been shamed into not talking about how they feel? They bottle everything up until it fucking destroys them.

All of the above.
