About This Quote

Everybody has a right to their own troubles. This saying is used to convey the idea that everyone should deal with their problems on their own terms, and not be forced to call upon others for help. For example, someone could say that they are dealing with their problems by staying in bed all day, or that they are dealing with theirs by avoiding contact with others. The statement conveys the idea that people shouldn’t feel obligated to seek help if they don’t want it.
