lifes not fair. 😭

It seems upbring , learn behaviour does influence how we do life . Genetics and inherited mental health issues are also a huge influence

genetics, some try, some don't, some never get a chance, you have to have the want to get anything, never say "someday i will go there", unless you start planning right away, you will be in the some don't, category where you sitting on your porch at 80, thinking, i wish i had gone there, life is short, find your genetics and go against them and enjoy life☺️

I believe Life iis a Gamble. like a deck of cards or even Craps and everything happens for a reason. Its up to you to recognize what game you are playing, who you're up against and who is dealing the cards. Because. Some people get dealt the wrong hand or very Bad hand. Some are lucky and nreak even while some Cheat and wins the game over and over again. Just remember, Life isn't fair and the House always win.

I think everyone has obstacles in life, its probably about not giving up and trying to overcome them, by thinking about positive alternatives.

In my opinion that’s just life. Everybody has hard times regardless

Standard answer given to a child JUST BECAUSE Sorry but you asked and I could not resist.

I once was told if everyone in your neighbourhood put a sign on their lawn you would be shocked what they are going through. It’s true we all struggle. The cost of living, lack of jobs our situations all are different but we are in this together. For me is grief.

Personally I think it is the circumstances that you find yourself in. After all, we are all responsible for our actions. Only you can fix it with a little (or more) effort.

sometimes it is lack of motivation

everyone experiences good & bad happenings

There is good & bad in everyone's lives, it is just a matter of perspective.

yes, & it is due to their perspective of what to expect from life.Also, some people are luckier than others due to their abilities & working harder than others.

Because...our own cross seems to be the heaviest...

Racism, sexism, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, mental health issues since birth, and abusive parents - just to name a few things that happen every day in the 'real world' - which makes LIFE harder for some people on an everyday basis!

Horrible things do happen to some people. Look at the people who beat one form of cancer only to get another type, but some people carry a huge chip on their shoulder imagining slight where there is none. Attitude and disposition also play a part in how life treats you. When something bad happens some people blame God. God doesn't cause it but does allow it, so instead of asking "why me" some people ask "why not".

My life has been pretty crap , but I have children and grandchildren, so I can’t kill myself , there is no God and if you believe so I hope it makes your life better , I’m 63 now can’t wait for death

If I knew the answer to this question I might be wealthy😘

true Natalia

Life is what you make it! I’ve been told this my whole life!

Sometime life is just hard but thats life good with the bad

The cards I was dealt with wouldn't have been my choice. Trauma and family played a big part . I don't believe there is such things as a perfect family. I can say honestly say I done it all my myself with no help from family and I hold my head up high and know I can sleep at night. But they say everything is meant to try us and grow from our experience in life no matter how hard it is . But to be honest I wouldn't want to be born into wealth and have everything on a silver platter as there would be nothing to strive for and achieve

There are many factors at work here. It depends a lot upon individual personalities and how people react to situations. It can be down to pure chance, but often too people can make life easy or difficult through their own actions and attitudes.

It's a mix of everything you mentioned Natalia,you pretty well answered your own question.

Life can be hard to understand why me sometimes but then we look at others who have nothing and realise that life is so short we need to love and be kind to each other . A hug and a smile can take away all our pain.

For the poor people who are born into poverty, 3rd world country's and dangerous parts of the world it's a situation beyond their control. Focus is on surviving day to day. These are the people I think of when I struggle to cope. For the rest of us born elsewhere regardless of socio sconomics,race or religion we all have times when life is a struggle,some more than others. You may think some have a better, easier life, but you truly don't know until you walk in their shoes. Ie last few years famous actors/ actresses ,socialites,celebrity's,popular seemingly happy with the world at their feet,but struggling with depression,drug use,alcohol and commit suicide. Tributes always say,"we had no idea",or "they we so happy,had everything to live for". Everyone struggles,.

You ask the question why me ? And the answer is because I do not like you.

Ellen you are so right - I lost my seventeen year old son who was playing football at lunchtime in high school. There was a truck in the grounds and my son ran back to catch the ball and the truck was reversing -neither one saw the other. I thought I would never get over it but a couple who were Christians reached out to my husband and myself and we asked Jesus to come into our lives and we now live on property with our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and yes there are times when I wonder what my son would have been doing but I praise and thank God for what I have.

Trauma

With God, all things are possible, if you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Lord & Savior.

It's partly how you were raised, your environment, income from family members to have nice things, no upbringing in church. These things shouldn't stop you from trying to achieve your goals. Don't let the negatives from your life be a crutch.

Yeah I don't get it either. I went to school with a girl and any way we grew apart and I saw her years later. What she went through in her life I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy { just an expression if you know what I mean.} It was really sad and all I had wanted for her was the best and unfortunately she didn't get the life I thought she would have had. Another friend of the families daughter lost her fiancé and her baby all in the same month. Life is cruel and unkind. The unknown out comes can certainly upset whole families. Cancer, dementia, accidents. When our number is up, it's up so make the most of what you have, what you have got because you never know when it will be no longer. I still have my Mum and Dad which amazes me and I am very grateful because I know a lot of people aren't so lucky. Mum's getting confused some but Dad is doing so well for his age. They are celebrating 65 years of marriage and Mum's 87 and Dad is turning 86 soon. They have had a wonderful life together and they are very much still in love, it's just beautiful to see.

I never have expectations so I am rarely disappointed, and I enjoy my life,i don't have much and have never been happier, take joy in making someone smile, and help others when you can just for the joy it creates there is so much power in a smile and helping someone through a bad time, it is so much easier to cope with life when you are happy ,all i can say is be yourself because everyone else is taken

Because they make a lot of bad decisions.

Everyone needs to learn how to deal with the cards that they have been dealt. Some of us have been dealt with a great hand. They need to use it for good, and they will prosper. Others have been dealt a bad hand, and if they choose to wallow in their misfortune, they will suffer for it .

I think it depends on a persons personality and temperament. Some people can bounce back quicker than others. Some things are no big deal for one person but is for another. Even when you look at kids raised in the same family they can end up with completely different lives. Then there is disability and mental illness on top of that for some. Every one has a different perspective of the world around them and our bodies all react differently to external factors.

Well for one not everyone one has money or same opportunities then others because of gender, racism or just some people choose not to try anything

Life is life? what is it? it's not possible to truely understand what life is like from with inside anothers perception. It can be blamed a lot on money these days. But it is just not possible to understand and say your life is better or worse than someone elses, you just are who you are and you accept it.

Some people are resilient and can overcome hard times, others are not and need help or guidance. Lots of factors can determine whether life is 'harder' for some and not others.

It just is, most of us want equality for all but in reality we aren't equal as some of us were born with the proverbial silver spoon and the majority of the world weren't and have to work much harder to achieve anything and everything in their lives. Add to that disabilities etc and life can be extremely hard for some. It all depends on the drive a person has to better their situation.

Doing your best with what abilities you have and work to get an improved work position to enable you to find a better position

Some people just breeze though life most things come easy practically handed to them others have to fight n stuffer to archive the same or less

Life can be fickle but I always try to find the bright side of things. As the Phantom says God helps those that help themselves……lol

Health and Doctors that won't listen, and Finance for me

Health and Finance for me,

It's all a combination of education, experience and genetics.

Some people are just dealt a bad hand . Born into poverty or bad family circumstances, disabilities etc .. it's those that rise out of it that have somehow found the determination to do so who may have your answers Natalia . Many have not been afforded basic coping mechanisms at an early development age or are just very sensitive to outside influences in general as a valid point you make for others who seem to just find life harder for whatever other reasons. They may find it harder to move on from past hurts or lack confidence to do so .. the mind is a very a complex thing and can make or break you some days ,but occasionally we all end up with a good day now and again !

If you think life is perfect for anyone you are living in Fairy Land. It is not how you perceive life for others to be but how they deal with what happens in their lives and get on with living it.

Depends on the country you are born in, having loving and caring parents, having an education ,your physical and mental health, and the brain cells you are born with.Simple hey.

it's the "I can be hurt by any comment" non hardening up attitude that pervades since Covid shuttings down.

life is challenging for everyone at some time, which offers them an oppertunity to develop stratedgy to overcome it,bit like my spelling ability.....

Everyone's different

no research has done the issue yet...I think

It it was easy we would never solve any problems

Life can be harder for some and easier for others due to many variable. I could list them but we all have our opinions. We do however make life what we can and try to make the most of it. I believe in keeping on moving forward and having a positive attitude.

Life can be harder for some people due to various factors that can include low-income backgrounds, discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability can create significant challenges for individuals, leading to unequal opportunities and systemic disadvantages, lack of support

Life is how you make it, education is a big factor and job selection.

I believe life is harder for some people because of some bad life choices they made that sometimes are hard to make up, correct or take back. Usually stands out as bad luck but your life would have been better if you had made better choices. Better choices, better outcome in life.

Worry, anxiety, depression, expectations, lack of confidence or self worthEdited 30-Jul-24 09:55am

It is what we make it

It seems that some people are born lucky in that no matter what happens they always come out on top.

If people would think about consequences good and bad and made better decisions in their lives and stop passing blame then every would be happier and more satisfied with where they are in life

There are so many circumstances in a person's life that can mean they find life hard. I think there are three main reasons: 1. It may be that they have been given a harder more difficult life - carry a disability, depression, loose a loved one, house and contents burn down, car is stollen, child dies, parents divorce, debilitating illness... For some people life and good things seem to land in their lap - rich, loving family, car given to them, very smart and talented at what ever they try, score a mansion for an amazing price, marry a beautiful person... Some people do just have it better than others. 2. In some situations, it can be a mental health issue that will affects how a person feels about their life. Life will just be harder for them. For them a small issue will seem like the hardest thing ever. 3. Personality traits - it can make a huge difference to how hard people feel their life is. A perfectionist will have a more stressful and busy life than a relaxed person. A pessimist will struggle more because they focus on the negatives instead of counting their blessings.

It’s all about our pass life

One day hopefully we will understand that one.

Sometimes life is harder for some people because of the issues they experienced in childhood. They are deeply affected by this

We all have sadness and grief, joy and bliss. God's word and love will get you through it all. He allows things to happen so that we will rely on Him to see us through....no matter the circumstances

There are as many reasons as there are people in my opinion. We all experience different things from our first breath forward. Besides that, we are born with certain personality traits that come into play. Then add in your family dynamics, experiences and parental issues, and our minds react accordingly. In my case, I was born with depression and anxiety and had low self-esteem which was fed by the people around me. I never felt like a normal person as a child. I am not sure I felt love even though my parents loved me immensely. I never felt deserving because I was a fat kid which I think happened from PTSD of sexual abuse and the traumatic even at the age of three when my tonsils were removed in the doctor's office! Then two failed marriages and a nervous breakdown that left me unable to work brought a lot of negative feelings about myself and feeling like a failure. My family are all deceased, and I am alone to figure all of this out. I am now happier than ever with the help of God who made me realize that I'm as good as everyone else. It took me 70 years to realize I'm a good person and to treat myself well. Not having children does NOT make me a bad person regardless of what Trump's VP candidate says! I've come to far to let anyone make me feel like a loser for not being able to have children! He knows nothing about me so making a general statement like that is showing his ignorance. In my opinion, it's stamped on his forehead, "I'm an idiot."

How do you know life if harder for some people, have you ever been able to enter their body/mind. Maybe YOU THINK their life is harder. LIFE IS DIFFERENT. Been their done that. People think I had a hard life, being a single mum and no family. In a time when there was no child care, pensions, gov grants to help, You wanted to keep your child you worked and paid. BUT my life was blessed, it had its ups and downs, but I would not change one minute. You colour what you see and think, not other people. Blessings

Unfortunately that is life for most people. Everything can be going along smoothly and then changes happen such as health issues, losing your job etc. Every day you wake up is a start to a new day and try to be optimistic.

The same reason that life is easier for some people.

You don't know what it's like to walk in another's shoes, so you definitely cannot pass judgment on them....even those closest to u. If u think you know EVERYTHING about someone else, no matter how close you are....think again.

Different issues everyone's dealing with.

It’s life

I agree with you but some time things change and your life becomes harder for some people they can move on but for others it holds them back and makes it hard for them to live the life they want but you should all stay positive and work to be better within your self it works for some people but not others

maybe they put themselves in that situation or just bad luck runs in their family. think positive and believe.

My husband just can't figure out how to be happy without beer. Then he crashes and burns and I'm left to pick up the pieces. I'm done with this. Truly done. I'm moving my stuff discreetly out of the house on a weekly basis. He has it harder because he makes it that way!

because of selfish people who go out of their way to make it harder for them. that makes for both my stepfather and biological father. to call them selfish is an understatement. people like that should be in jail for what they did to me.

From the age of 10, life progressively got harder. It would take too long to explain here.

Because some people make it their life's work to make it that way for those who want nothing to do with them .. boo hoo tough luck to those who want to waste their life t hat way, Stay hard, true and steadfast and true to yourself. Just ignore the passing parade of painted clowns as they disappear into the shadows of shallow beings.

some people make things hard for themselves because they can't believe that anything can simple if they think about it.

Often life is what you make it. It doesn't always have to be hard.

Life happens.

Be happy and cheerful every day, and be nice to all, whether they are nice back to you or not God is always nice to us all

Ive been rejected my whole life never had had a high paid job and can't make friends

It seems to me if anything can happen to me it can and does. However, I am Christian and God and the Angels bring me through it all.

Your mindset is making it harder for you

Because they don't know Jehovah God and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ! With them, all things are possible and, even if times get hard, we have the hope of the Kingdom, and can have the "Peace of God"! Read Psalm chapter 37 and Matthew 6:10. ;-D

do not overload upon another

Some people are just unable to handle the pressures of life in the modern world, technology, laws upon laws rules and more rules being taking advantage of, scammers, thieves I think it's just easier for some people just step out of the society and be homeless.

Some people are their own worst enemy. Never grateful, always wanting, never satisfied. Look at life differently and it will be different.

Perspectives about everything. Perhaps our lives were never meant to be too easy nor rosy (that's why only a few of the billions of us may get to this level), but challenges get included to remind us to work hard/smartly and to love a much higher power than ourselves. We all have to go in the end, so help each up and not down.

Vivre est un combat de tous les jours. Même les riches de ce monde on leur lots de difficultés. L'argent est la source première de malheur.

Some people sabotage themselves. They tend to think more negative and blame everything else but themselves. Its not about lucky or unlucky, it has more to do with how you respond to both the bad and good things in your life. You are the only one that can control you.

Without money, resources and help from other people that makes life harder for some people to life especially without support from the people you are closest to.

Everyone is not equal. It's what type of life they have been born into. Not everyone is rich, not everything is given to you. It's what you put into and work at.

Some people are born into this world not on the same playing field as others, unforeseen terrible events happen to others and, unfortunately, others make bad decisions in life. Life is about learning lessons.

It’s a struggle. For a start, where is the line between compassion and capitalism? I would like to give away lots and help many but I have too much anxiety about my own ability to survive.

We are all born into unique situations. Some people advance out of the most horrible circumstances to achieve greatness. Some are given so much but cannot seem to advance. We all have different mindsets, gifts and deficits to work on. I think living one day at a time and doing your best, being the best you that you can be is what helps you get through life. Even the toughest people we may think we know have challenges that are hard so it is best to appreciate what you have and strive for your best. Easier said than done I know.

Having a positive outlook and living a Christian life helps me. I know friends that seem to have a very difficult time. Some cope and some don't but challenges are what makes us grow. I have had my difficulties in life - no-one really escapes them. Keep on smiling if you can and keep loving.
