Would you say that to someone suffering from another kind of chronic severe pain condition?The sooner you stop feeling sorry for yourself and accept your tinnitus, the sooner you will find peace.
Ha. I was tortured and suffered a traumatic brain injury from shrapnel as a human rights volunteer in Bosnia. You might want to gain a little perspective. I have severe tinnitus, but I am grateful to be living and having a beautiful life.Would you say that to someone suffering from another kind of chronic severe pain condition?
Your comment is ignorant, cruel, shaming, and stunningly arrogant.
Please share your wisdom somewhere else. Maybe visit your local hospital. Look for those most in pain and tell them they are "feeling sorry for themselves."
Great holier-than-thou attitude, jackass. It sounds like that 'traumatic brain injury' did some lasting damage. You're (allegedly) a human rights activist, and you've chosen the morally righteous path of belittling an entire group of people online. Take a walk.Ha.

Nope, I am not an "activist" by any means. I was a simple volunteer. I know what real pain is. Tinnitus sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Stop being a crybaby.Great holier-than-thou attitude, jackass. It sounds like that 'traumatic brain injury' did some lasting damage.

Please do the honourable thing and leave the forum, @Mattv. It's clear it serves you no purpose now, and you serve it no purpose either.Tinnitus sucks, but it's not the end of the world. Stop being a crybaby.
Utterly deranged response. Well-adjusted people don't wield their negative experiences as a weapon to try and invalidate the hardships and suffering of others while calling them 'crybabies'.Nope, I am not an "activist" by any means.

What is this teenage edgelord-ass line? I'll throw your insane logic back at you: you're a white man from the United States; how could you possibly fathom what '''true pain''' is? I wonder what survivors of years-long child sex trafficking and other equally heinous shit from third-world countries would say in response to that while you're grateful for your "beautiful life." If you know what "real pain" is, then it's made you an ingrate.I know what real pain is.
Exactly! That was my point.…..don't wield their negative experiences as a weapon to try and invalidate the hardships and suffering of others while calling them 'crybabies'.
I don't need to gain perspective. I'm very clear. You don't get to decide what category of pain and suffering is real or valid and which is to be dismissed or, worse yet, ridiculed. You so give yourself away with that crybaby comment.Ha. I was tortured and suffered a traumatic brain injury from shrapnel as a human rights volunteer in Bosnia. You might want to gain a little perspective. I have severe tinnitus, but I am grateful to be living and having a beautiful life.
I can decide anything I want!Exactly! That was my point.

I think people who have suffered greatly do not belittle the suffering of others or render judgment on their experiences. A person tortured in war or a woman violently beaten and raped: whose pain is real? Whose suffering is valid. BOTH!!! You don't compare. Suffering is suffering deserving of compassion and understanding. Period!
Why did it take you five years to say that line? Why were you being such a crybaby?I can decide anything I want!
I know tinnitus sucks. But, the day I just said 'fuck it, this is me now," was my first step to enjoying life. It did take about five years.
Congratulations! You found a personal, anecdotal way to help yourself habituate!I can decide anything I want!

I suspect mental illness combined with tinnitus is probably what afflicts most people who can't move on.
Let me clarify: you don't get to decide for other people. Of course, you can think or feel what you want about yourself or others.I can decide anything I want!
Am I supposed to be impressed by this? Are you more qualified to tell people how to handle tinnitus because you were tortured? I don't think so.Ha.
