As someone who writes about everything online, I didn't feel the least bit offended by this. Because I KNOW exactly what kind of person you are referring to. Although I have been through things, I know other people have been through so much worse. I would never want to one up people. When people open up to me, I make it a point to not act like I know exactly what they are feeling.
Blaming everyone under the sun and always having it much worse than others is just not the way to look at life. That is just being honest.
