And and so that's one of the the powers of self-compassion.
And it's also what differentiates self-compassion from self-pity.
You know, self-pity is po me, self-compassion is wow.
Everyone struggles.
And when you remember that, you feel much less alone and you feel much uh more empowered by the fact that, you know, uh your brothers and sisters are going through a similar thing.
And so it it's a really important aspect of being self-compassionate.
And and by the way, it is harder for you.
Yeah.
Right.
So so so everyone suffers, but not everyone's suffering is the same.
So it's gonna be harder for you if you're a parent of a, you know, um an a neurodiverse child, or if you're, you know, subject to systemic racism, or you've got a trauma history.
I mean, so it's not that all suffering is the same or that all suffering is equal.
And so we need to acknowledge that and we need to have compassion.
for a particular form of suffering, you know, and in a way we're the only ones who know who know it from the inside out.
So we need to give that to ourselves.
At the same time, we have to remember that it's not abnormal to suffer.
That's the thing that gets us.
You know, when we think that somehow we aren't supposed to suffer.
But that is actually what being human is largely about.
Um, but people do suffer different amounts and in different ways, and we need so we need to hold the pain of that.
