I am stronger b/c I have had some serious obsticles to overcome in my life!.

I also know people who haven't had to overcome very much who are very much "woe is me" types!.

I am predicting that if things ever really got hard for those "poor me" types, they'd just use the struggle as ammunition to pity themselves (and not get stronger)!.
