People stop rationalising your suffering and accept that it's ok for things to be shit and to be upset about it. 'But I am better off than someone in worse circumstances' is a way of gaslighting yourself into believing you are not allowed to be upset unless at rock bottom. It's unhealthy.

It also is really quite offensive to those of us who are too often used as the comparison model.

You should feel your feelings instead of rationalising your way out of having them. The inverse of this is true in people who complain about people in better off circumstances needing to shut up because you have it worse. It's not a competition. Both of these make everyone generally worse off.
