* ''Fanfic/UnlifeIsStrange:''
** A more lighthearted example occurs in a flashback, when Nathan and Rachel are discussing their troubled relationships with their fathers. It's not treated as them trying to one up each other's trauma, but the two getting a genuine understanding of each other.
** A more grim example occurs in another flashback. During Rachel's affair with Jefferson, she opens up to him about some of her troubles at home -- especially her biological mother, who recently died from an overdose. Rather than show compassion or understanding, Jefferson "comforts" Rachel by saying she shouldn't let her losses hold her back. Jefferson mentions how his mother died of cancer and how he quickly got over it, comparing it to a bee sting. [[spoiler:It doesn't help that Jefferson all but admits to exploiting his dying mother for his first art piece, and to generate sympathy from the community.]]
* ''Fanfic/MissionToSilas'': Miss Petrie's reaction to Brigitte's DarkAndTroubledPast is to dismiss her as PlayingTheVictimCard...which Petrie herself immediately does by bringing up her time in boarding school. Apparently, Petrie finds climbing a rope comparable to everything Brigitte went through. When called out on it, Amy tells Petrie to her face that she's probably just intimidated at the idea that Brigitte had it worse than her.

* In ''Anime/KnightHunter'', after Tomoe Sakura has one of her kidneys stolen by a MadScientist and becomes the subject of a great deal of prying media attention, she laments what's happened to her and that the surgery has left her unable to run track like she could before. Aya, whose little sister and only living family has been in a coma for two years and shows no signs of ever waking, delivers a verbal slap to Sakura in which he roughly points out to her that at least she's still alive and conscious and capable of moving under her own power.
