Even on the darkest days, when the housekeeper calls in sick or you can't get your jeans to close, someone else is going through something worse. So unless you greatly exaggerate your hardships, all of the attention you deserve will go to orphaned children or the terminally ill.
Tears, whining, and self-inflicted wounds might not change things, but they do make people try to comfort you, especially people who need somebody to save.
