no disrespect but...From what I can tell, most of NT is lower middle class to middle class. Most of y'all can relate to being poor at some time in your life, but have any of you lived in poverty for years?
I lived in poverty my entire childhood until I went to college. That's less than 24k a year for a family of 4 and less than 14k for a family of two. Half of my childhood, it was just me and my mom. 18 years of living in poverty in inner city Los Angeles.
Y'all say everybody been through struggles. But have y'all ever struggled your entire life?
I rarely tell people about any of this. My closest friends don't even know this.
For some reason I always find myself around people who have to tell me about how easy my life is and how I never had to struggle and generally are tryna to purposefully make me feel like **** about myself compared to their struggle. Mind you I'm not richer or even upper middle class. I just love in a house and use correct grammar and don't carry myself in any sort of hood manner, and people take those three things and decide who I am for me all the time.Literally I've had so many people who just don't like me from the moment they first saw me, and if you ask them why a lot of their reasons are things that have nothing to do with me.
Don't even waste your time on those people fam.
Same position. Was raised kind of lower middle class, but I've always spoke perfect english because that's the way my father decided to bring me up.
My grandfather told me this word for word, "To make it in the white mans world you must carry yourself like one."
i completely understand why people might not take a liking to either of ya..when ya say things like da aforementioned you marginalize folks who don't feel like
they gotta compromise who they are to feel "acceptable" to white people...there's alot of room for resentment there.
i try to remain humble because i believe that no one really cares. just the way of the world.
I assume that it's hard for most of NT to be able relate to people who have been through "so much" like myself.no disrespect but...From what I can tell, most of NT is lower middle class to middle class.

What does this have to do with the thread?

I agree, it can be annoying.Sympathizing for people going through rough times is different than a person saying they've been through too much as a way of self-pity. I think that's where OP is coming from.
It IS annoying. I always try and sympathize with people these days no matter how marginal it may seem to me, but when it becomes a continual crutch for that person and they just repeat the words without action, it becomes more about that person than it does their actual "tribulations."
Being strong is how you carry yourself when you're going through the tough times and how you push yourself through it to become a better person who has learned. It is NOT just going through it that makes you strong in my opinion.

But you tell NT though...

Is it unfashionable that there are things people would reveal online but not in real life?
this.What's annoying is the people who've "been through so much" because of their own stupid decisions and try to get sympathy like they had no control over their lives.
