I'm not sure there is a name for the GP's 'fallacy', but I think there should be. The idea is that one person in the whole history of the world had the worst, most painful, most terrible, most suffered, most miserable life that ever happened anywhere and for all time. All other people are just griping and moaning; they could have had it worse, so shut-up.
Like, how mean is that thought process? We need to be helping each other out, not comparing the size of our scars and the length of our therapy sessions. So what if someone hasn't had it was bad as you or some hypothetical person? Be kind.
