5	This quote is said to Character A who is trying to relate or suddenly realizes what Character B has to deal with most (if not ''all'') of the time. A variant of this is when character B asks: "Does A feel like this ''all the time''?", usually said after finding themselves in a same boat as character A. Usually played for laughs, but can be used seriously when a character realises that another only appears to be a bastard because of their frequent necessary evils.

7	This has nothing to do with literally being taken into someone else's world, or about a character using this line to boast that they have power over someone else. Compare SuddenHumility.

9	Also unfortunately not related to the song by Jim Reeves - Welcome To My World, or the [[Roleplay/WelcomeToMyWorld roleplay]].

65	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
66	** In ''Literature/{{Thud}}'' Vimes manages to work out that the Vampire he was sort of but not really forced to employ was [[spoiler: a spy for Rhys Rhysson, Low King of the Dwarves]] in a time of almost sort of war. After utilising this to his advantage and noting that this means that no one will ever be able to tell him who he can and can't employ again he muses if this is how Lord Vetinari feels all the time.
67	** Moist von Lipwig, near the end of ''Literature/GoingPostal'', has this after successfully manipulating his enemies.
68	* This is Martya Koudelka's tart response when Miles wonders why genes should trump competence in ''Literature/ACivilCampaign''. As a girl Martya's essentially property under Barayaran law, though in actual practice things tend to be a bit more enlightened than that:
69	-->'''Martya:''' If you're looking for sympathy, Miles, you've come to the wrong store.
70	** Armsman Roic has a more light-hearted version in ''Winterfair Gifts'' when he - a tall, athletic guard with a HeroicBuild - finds himself face to... chest with the eight-foot-tall SuperSoldier Taura.
71	-->'''Roic:''' This must be what women looked like to (Miles) ''all the time''.
72	* The main male protagonists and female protagonists in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' have these with each other rather frequently.
73	* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': When the group have to deal with a rogue Animorph out for their blood, they find themselves becoming paranoid about every innocuous animal they come in contact with, from the birds in the sky to the roaches in their houses, worrying that it could be this dangerous shapeshifter ready to pounce the moment their guard is down. Rachel comments that "I'm starting to see why [[BigBad Visser Three]] hates us so much."

81	** Rory actually used the trope name in 'The Rebel Flesh.' Apparently referring to [[TheyKilledKennyAgain his multiple deaths]] thus far.
82	* In ''Series/StargateSG1'', Carter says this to O'Neill after he is treated to her father's unique brand of humour-in-the-face-of-death. More amusing is that this comment could apply to her relationship with her father or to her relationship with O'Neill himself, who is well known for his sometimes irritating humour.
83	* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', when Cox is forced to sack a junior cafeteria employee, Kelso tells him, "Welcome to my world. And now try going home to my wife."

85	* Done in an episode of ''Series/{{Monk}}'' where Captain Stottlemeyer's wife was badly injured in a car accident and he was afraid she would die. Monk tells him, "What you're feeling right now, that fear? That's how I feel all the time."
86	* ''Series/LoisAndClark'': In "Soul Mates", it's revealed that, in at least two past lives, Clark also had a dual identity. When the Tempus from one of them learned of this, he was shocked that he let [[ClarkKenting a mask]] deceive him. Lois told him to join the club.
87	* ''Series/TheXFiles'', same sentiment expressed differently: In "Humbug", circumstances force Scully to offer a completely outlandish explanation of an event if she's to report accurately, and she's met with disbelief. Mulder comments "Now you know how I feel".
88	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
89	** When Buffy and Cordelia (who has been mistaken for Faith) are hunted in Slayerfest '98, Buffy uses this line.
90	** Also played straight at the end of season 4, when Buffy presents a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the head of the Initiative. She tells them that this is her world and they are the intruders, not the other way around.
91	* Used a few times in ''Series/MythBusters'' whenever a member of the Build Team other than [[ButtMonkey Tory]] has to undergo suffering of some kind to test a myth.
92	* PlayedForLaughs on ''Series/TheWestWing''; in the second-season episode "The Drop-In", President Bartlet is swearing in ambassadors to the U.S., and being the know-it-all is, he reminds the Swedish ambassador the Swedes are descended from the barbarians that sacked Rome. When Leo greets the ambassador after he's been sworn in, he asks the ambassador, "Is he still holding you responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire?" The ambassador chuckles and says yes, to which Leo replies, "Welcome to my world."
93	* ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'': In Season 5's "[[Recap/TheHandmaidsTaleS5E8Motherland Motherland]]", Serena asks June for advice on how to [[spoiler:live with the Wheelers, a couple determined to take Noah (Serena's baby) for themselves]]. June shares how she survived her own experience:

101	[[folder:Video Games]]
102	* In the final case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', you spend some time playing as [[spoiler:Edgeworth]] while Phoenix recovers from a minor injury (which is to say that he [[spoiler:fell through a burning bridge and plummeted 40 feet into a river known for it's ridiculously strong current, in the dead of winter]], because [[MadeOfIron that's a minor injury to him]]). One of the first pieces of evidence you can find is an apparent murder weapon, with both the victim's blood and the defendant's fingerprints on it. A flabbergasted [[spoiler:Edgeworth]] asks himself if this is what Phoenix feels like all the time, and how it can't be very good for his health.
103	* ''VideoGame/FableIII'' combines this with LeaningOnTheFourthWall when Walter asks the Hero if they ever feel like someone is playing games with them, and the hero responds "All the time."

105
106	[[folder:Web Animation]]
107	* In the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' cartoon ''Doomy Tales of the Macabre'', Bubs's head is decapitated. Onion Bubs, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin An onion with Bubs's face on it,]] says this in a creepy voice and laughs.
108	* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', Episode 18:
109	-->'''Gohan:''' With this powerup, I'm now as strong as you were when we fought on Earth!\
110	'''Vegeta:''' Congratulations - you're still weaker than the last three guys I killed.\
111	'''Gohan:''' Wow. I now know what it's like to feel like Krillin.\

115	[[folder:Web Comics]]
116	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has used this gag several times.

118	** When the other five Order members repeatedly rebuff Vaarsuvius' attempts to explain the nature of Blackwing the Raven, including his presence throughout many earlier plotlines which the others somehow did not notice, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0674.html Blackwing says that now that V knows his pain, the healing can begin]].

129	-->'''Lisa:''' Bart! Don't you realize what this means? The next time we fall asleep, we could die!\
130	'''Grampa Simpson:''' Ehh, welcome to my world!
131	** Again in the episode "Smart and Smarter" when Maggie tests with a higher IQ than Lisa, causing her identity to feel threatened.

134	'''Bart:''' Welcome to ''the others!''\
135	''[Lisa screams]''
136	* Nicely done in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' pilot when Bruce invokes the trope after hiring Terry to be his assistant.

145	** In the episode "Fenton Menace", Maddie embarrasses Jazz with her childhood toy, to which Jazz demands she stopped treating her like a little kid. Danny then angrily mentions, "Welcome to my world."
146	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': Timmy wishes he had hyper-intelligence, but it eventually wears off when he tries to use it to cheat at a game show. Timmy asks why he doesn't know anything anymore, and [[TheDitz Cosmo]] says, "Welcome to my world!"
