I completely understand she's having a hard time. So am I. Not trying to be that mean person, but here's the truth: people have it way worse than you do. There's people with no homes, no future. No money. No food. Nothing. We're lucky. Whenever people have a bad day, they tend to think that it couldn't get any worse, and that they have it really bad. But nope. There's people that have it worse. My friend's family is low on money, and her dad just got laid off. He's not working, and her mom works at a grocery store. They can barely afford to feed their dog. Their breakfast, lunch, and dinner consist of ramen, ramen, and ramen. She has a beautiful voice, but she doesn't have enough money to pay for lessons. They live in a very small house compared to most people. It has one bathroom. The mother and my friend both have foot issues and knee issues. She barely can run because of this.

I'm trying to paint a picture here. I know you have it bad, and it feels like it can't possibly get worse, but look. They're happy. They live wonderful joyful lives, even throughout their struggles.

Everybody has bad days. And some have really bad days. You're lucky. And so am I.

Are you talking to me or Blumenkrone? Because I never said I had a bad day? 
 

Also she’s having a hard time too. Yes people have it worse, but sometimes when people are feeling bad, it leads to bad responses. Sometimes when someone’s having a hard time and another person underestimates it. It can lead to self harm. Right now is a hard time, and I personally don’t think it’s right to compare like this. Yes other people are having hard times, but you don’t know Blumenkrone’s life right now. I’m not trying to take sides or so. But I feel this is a sensitive subject, and talking about it like this can just take things down to a wrong turn and I don’t want that to happen. And this is sort of leading off the course of the subject rn, but I feel like in the beginning she was just trying to justify her actions. She also apologized and this really feels pointless on how a conversation on hermit crabs turned to talk about homeless. My point is. We don’t know her situation rn, but from her posts I can tell her time rn is rough, comparing like this can make things get worse since this is a sensitive subject, and many times it can lead to a wrong path. She apologized and I feel like it should’ve ended there.

Please please PLEASE dont belittle someones problems by telling them “people have it worse” that is NOT ok. My comment was unjustified and i was trying to start a fight, i know. I am in a terrible mental state right now and hamster hideout is my escape from it. I can take it but if u tell that to the wrong person, they will take it as my problems dont matter. Thats how it sounds, were here to help people. Last night i cried for an hour and did worse, thats what i need to deal with. Mental health is important and telling me that other people have it worse then me so my issues are invalid really hurt. Please dont do that again

I typed a whole paragraph in response to this, but nobody's going to care, so I deleted it. But the basic summary of it, was that it wasn't a belittling paragraph. I was telling you to be happy about the things you have. That we're lucky to live in such a world, and it's something to be joyous of. It was supposed to be inspirational, but apparently I just suck at everything, and break down when a stranger misinterprets what I say. Whelp. Okay then. I guess nobody will ever understand me.

Telling me to enjoy what i have is good, but it is extremely out of place.

Not really. We were literally talking about how you were having a hard time. I'm just going to not say anything anymore, or try not to, because it feels like all the HH members are against me, so...

I’m not making light of ANYONE’S problems. All I’m saying is let’s not spread them around. Let’s just wish everyone the best.

Back to the topic of hermit crabs....

I can see now how important they are to each other. They always choose to sleep together, so they’re more complex than I knew they were. My initial concern was that they might fight or kill each other, so I don’t want to see that. But they’re pretty cool to watch so far.

I named the bigger one Murdoch after the old beach shop where he came from and the smaller one is Cthulhu. ; )

Aww, that's adorable! I hope Murdoch and Cthulhu are happy together! Could I ask what the meaning of their names are? ;D

Hello, I just want to say..

i was not trying to be rude in any way I was just saying my opinion of Hermit crabs and I respect you and know that you are having a hard time. Please do NOT take my Comment and opinion as an insult, I was only trying to help you and the hermit crab community I am NOT looking to start a fight or join one. Please just take that into Consideration everyone. You seem like a very nice person and the other people that are coming at you and attacking you are very rude and mistaken.  :sweatdrop: Please know I’m only trying to make things better, Have a great day and stay safe!

Just so you know, im not against u, im against what your saying. I know your a great person, and great people can mess up.

 

Can you guys just forgive and forget?! I try not to get involved, but this is ridiculous. 

 

someone miswords something, it ends in an argument/ "I'm done".

Everyone calm down, be happy, and have your own opinion :)

The argument's already over. We are on perfectly fine terms with each other. By "I'm done." I'm literally saying that I'm done arguing. This was a day ago. Our argument is over, and we're on great terms with each other, right Bluemenkrone?
