It's normal to not relate to people who are not going through similar struggles like you are. Their sorrows/struggles aren't deeper and yours aren't shallow and vice versa.
Everyone is struggling according to what Allah deems they can bear. If you think you have it harder then remember.
📚 ❝If Allah intends good for someone, then he afflicts him with trials.❞
