Unfortunate Situations That We Wouldn’t Wish On Our Worst Enemy

It can be so easy to try and compare yourself to others. Scrolling through Instagram could lead you to wish you were on an expensive vacation, or maybe you're trying to compare your job to your friends. However, there are certain things in life we are very thankful aren't happening to us, and we wouldn't even wish it on our worst enemies.

Although these experiences are definitely different degrees of unfortunate, it's safe to say that most people wouldn't want any of these things to happen to them.

If I had all of these on me, I would probably be screaming and running around in circles. I'm starting to feel a little itchy all of a sudden...
