Competition regarding mental health?

[Tescosfinestmilk]

Among my group of friends, I have started to notice the pattern "competing" when the topic lands on mental/general health. By competing, I mean people go to a "Well I'm more stressed than.." etc. If you understand me.

Do you experience this among friends? What's your opinion on this?

I did experience that among my old friends actually. It was like every time you wanted support from someone, they would turn it into a competition as to who was the most mentally ill which was exhausting.

They are just trying to feel better about themselves.

I don't like complaining so I never do that and I get pretty annoyed by people who do
