Why do I get the feeling that people that had hardships in their lives are wiser than cozy grown-ups?

Feelings can almost always be trusted to be true. People who have lived with hardship in their lives are wiser for the most part, because no one wants to go there again. Those who had comfortable,practically protected lives have no clue, and when their day comes, as it surely will, they will have no clue how to handle what is thrown their way. Those of us who have suffered hardships no how to appreciate life in a very special way.

I think it's a silly excuse people use to avoid coming to terms with difficult times.

know that they fact that you are getting your life together is the best thing happening to you right now and those ppl are just the type that try to keep you down with their negativity...and the more they are hating on you most likely you are doing real good and they are just jealous they need to grow up.

You make life what you want of it. There are always going to be hard times but you move on and get over it. There is a lot more easier times in life than hard one just look forward to have a chance to do the things you want to do in life.\n\nHave a good day

you aren't selfish. Sometimes when we see the troubles other people have it puts things in perspective for us, suddenly our own life doesn't seem as bad as we thought it was.

I have found that often it is our attitude and how we handle life that makes it seem so ''crappy''.  Your life may not seem so bad at all to someone else.

This feeling can occur alot especially if you are feeling overwhelmed by responsibility within the relationship. You may feel that you are carrying more of the weight than the other person. There is also in-laws, friends, etc to deal with other than your own. Don't try, but DO, schedule time away, whether at the park, library, track, gym, spa, knitting club,etc. Find time for you. Time for you to leave your troubles at the door.

This feeling applies to nearly everyone.  A simple fact of human nature is to seek familiarity.  This is why we feel most comfortable around those we love and know well.  This is why we feel sorrow when we lose a loved one or when a normal routine is permanently removed from our lives. The longer that "thing" is a part of our lives, the more we miss it when it's gone.\n\nAt the same time, we are adaptive creatures.  We adjust to new things, often slowly at first, until they become common place in our lives.  The cycle is repeated hundreds of times throughout our lives...and it's all part of the human experience.

Well, they can't really think through their situation in life and want to get free from the mental or physical pain in which affects them throughout their life. Others do so probably because they are of guilt or that of financial difficulties.

Probably because they feel like they have everything life has to offer and it is still not enough to make them happy. They have probably forgotten how to enjoy the simple things.

A man who puts his family before everything.  I respect a person more like that.  And people that are like middle class and lower, are typically more happy.  It may not seem so, but think about how stressed you would be if you had all that money.  Things are not what they appear to be sometimes.

I would think that under normal circumstances people are of good nature and temperment, but just like in a dozen of eggs one or two some how always manged to crack under pressure.  The egotistical manifistation of supremecy is an ongoing process and those who are underfoot...usually are the first to get stepped on...It's life baby...get used to it..

I feel like I left myself behind.........with raising a family and working full-time.  Sometimes I regret it, other times not.  I guess it's called being a responsible adult.

Not fear, its arrogance and the feeling that their time os over which i s very very wrong.Older people must b respected becoz they have more xperince in life and are far more better than youngsters.And yes me, a 16 year old is saying this. They like to pick on people who wiont speak back.People who wont hit them back.Its just plain arrogance and superiority complex

I actually feel that they are dumber than the rest of us sometimes. This is obviously a false belief that has stuck in my mind because the prejudices my mom had while I was growing up, but truth is a person's hair colour is not an indication of intelligence or anything else really.

I am probably the wrong person to answer this, but I wish it was like it used to be, (not that im an old man, but actually it has gotten bad in such a short amount of time)I have always trusted people, and believed in people, I have been screwed over so many times and lost alot of things in my life by trusting, but I feel like I am a better person because the times I have not been screwed over, it was so worth it. I would say go with your gut feeling!

I probably felt like I was an adult when I moved out of my 'rents house at 19. I'm 28 now and still don't feel much like an "adult".
