Do I have resting bitch face, or am I just a bitch that needs rest? I was up all night you know.

(1.) When someone tries to hold a contest on whose had it worse, as if suffering was a cereal box with a prize at the bottom.. And not in fact, a depressing reality with no winners.
(2.) Employing mental gymnastics to try and cement the message that your suffering is the only suffering that counts.
A suffering olympics can be held in either a one on one scenario (where the person directly compares their own suffering)...Or it could be a context where the person compares first world to third world problems, and individual vs. Systemic, (always as if one cancels out the other. )

People who try to turn other people's pain into the suffering olympics, usually have one of two goals:
(1.) They're purely seeking personal vindication, because they're too dumb to realize this isn't a contest anyone should want to win.
(2.) They're trying to police someone else's feelings, boundaries or expectations, after being called out for bad behavior. (I.E. I'm not that bad because I had it so much worse growing up. (Or) How dare you even suggest I modify my behavior in any way! Aren't you aware there are children in Africa dying of AIDS?!)

The opposite of a North Star. Anything that guides you away from your goals, life purpose, or the best that is in you. It could be addiction or bad habits. It could be the wrong people. It could be hanging on to false or malignant hopes. Whatever it is, it will make your life go south. (Pun intended).

Loyalty is basically the word "investment" but with an opinion or point of view attached.
Loyalty is treated like a virtue, but it can't inherently be one, by itself. Case in point: People in hate groups are very loyal. So is someone with Stockholm Syndrome.
Investing your time and energy in a person or idea, over time...is a completely neutral act without a who, what or why attached.

Loyalty is such a dubious, perspective based word. It's right up there with "honor". Other virtues like love and honesty, are intrinsically valuable even if you love or are honest with the wrong person. This is not the case with loyalty. Being loyal to the wrong people is often based on fear, codependence, or the "birds of a feather" principle.

(1.) A word someone uses, whenever there's a hard (but simple) reality in front of them, they don't want to face.
Things that are genuinely/inherently complicated, are called, "complex". (You'll notice nobody refers to their relationship status as "complex", because deep down even they know they're lying to themselves. )
(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".

(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".
(1.) He says he doesn't want a relationship right now, because he's got a lot going on. His direct response and terrible excuse make things so complicated. Ugh. Whatever will I do with these obscure words shrouded in mystery?
(2.) Person A: "How about you tell me that Mountain Slope story Sheila?"
Person B: "Maybe another time Jerry. It's complicated."

An asthmatic baby dragon that wheezes small puffs of fire. Just wants to make friends, but ends up accidently burning stuff down, when he forgets his inhaler. The last time was at a furniture store. His friend was really looking forward to that sofa set. It was so soft before it was crispy.
Puff the magic dragon is seriously over having asthma.
Puff the magic dragon wishes he got his name listening to Bob Marley and smoking a bowl instead. He thinks that sounds nice.
