You tell them politely that they don't know how you feel because they are not you and they don't live in your shoes. Your situation is different regardless if the same event happened ( like say both you have a pet pass away, it might be more tragic for once person versus the other given the circumstances. Like one person's pet might have had a natural death and the other might have been run over.) Regardless, only you know how you truly feel and no one else knows that better than yourself because well you are you.

The best thing to say is something along the lines of, " I'm sorry but you are not me and therefore you don't know how I feel better than me because you don't live my life."

If you get the point across that this other person is not you and doesn't live your life they usually will come to an understanding and they will get that they can't understand you better than yourself.

Hope that helps.

You can politely express that while you appreciate their perspective, only you truly know how you feel. Suggest open communication and empathy by sharing that you value their support and understanding.

What do you do when your boyfriend lies to you and still deny's it even after you know the truth?

It depends what he lied to you about. You should think about it and figure out if what he lied to you about is a big deal to you or not. If it is not a big deal to you then drop it and don't bring it up again.

If not then Lose him you can do better. Life is to short

Why are the kids doing the bullying doing it?

To make themselves feel better. Bullies are immature people. They like feeling powerful, and making other people afraid and unhappy makes them feel powerful. They are not mature enough to know that making people feel better is actually a much more powerful feeling, and not mature enough to understand how another person feels inside.
