Why are some people's emotions not valid? And related questions. (lemmy.world)

My entire life, I have always been told that I am "overemotional", "overreacting", etc. to any given situation. Whenever anything bad is happening to me or someone else, I am not supposed to respond or react because it makes me "overdramatic". I don't understand how people just stand by and let assholes be assholes either to themselves or to others. I am never ok with that and I get frustrated at injustices. But it has gotten me into trouble my entire life.

Why is it that my feelings are less valid than others? Why am I supposed to let people walk all over me? Why don't I matter?

It's not that some people's emotions aren't valid, it's that some emotions are not valid in specific circumstances, eg. getting mad at someone because they're mad at you is not valid.
