I've seen people complaining about something unrelated (like a burglary) and include how especially bad it is for them because they're a single mother. Seemingly expecting more sympathy or help by showing what a victim they are. I'd say that's a bit manipulative. It doesn't mean all complaints are bad, but you don't have to mention your unrelated victimhood while complaining.
- GeneralTspoon 6y agoThe same event can affect different people differently... e.g. if Elon Musk gets burgled, he can always just buy new stuff... but if someone whose financial circumstances are worse got burgled (like perhaps a single mother), that would affect them more, since they might not be able to afford to replace their stolen goods so easily.
