Why do people undermine what I'm saying?

Okay little rant but I hate it when people undermine or downplay what you're trying to talk about. For example: You tell someone about a frustrating situation and they just comment with something like "OH THATS EASY YOU'RE JUST BEING A BABY." Or you talk about something you're proud of and they make it a competition. Anybody else think the same as me or am I just overreacting?

      This happens when I talk about my goals for the day. I am barely motivated to do anything, so when I do something like the dishes or brush my hair, I'm happy. I told my class that, and people started to laugh. 😥

      Definitely not overreacting! Everyone has the right to feel what they are feeling. Sometimes people may not agree, but putting someone down or making them feel little for it will always be wrong.

      If someone talks to you like that, you should explain to them what's wrong with saying that and why it bothers you. If they won't take that seriously, it's time to stop being friends with them and find better ones

        @Eren2273 Luckily this was just a random person online speaking their mind and trying to one up me. They said whatever I did was easy to them, called people like me babies and that I'm not fit for the job that I was complaining about.

        @Sam_Stars174 Yeah it makes you feel small and insignificant. That's exactly how I felt.

        @avian I think it's funny that you said they're ignorant. Since they scolded me for calling someone ignorant, when they were being ignorant as well lol

      I hate that! It’s not a competition, just let me speak without trying to negate what I am saying
