* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'': In "Mr. Universe", Steven learns more about Greg's upbringing after visiting the latter's childhood home. While Greg moans throughout the episode about how terribly his strict parents were, Steven is frustrated because he was denied any chance of normalcy due to Greg's parenting and the life he did lead as a result gave him PTSD. [[BothSidesHaveAPoint On the other hand]], Steven himself is guilty of this as well, as even though Greg's childhood problems seem comparatively nothing, it was clear that he was still genuinely miserable growing up. As a result, Steven fails to pick up on the numerous implications that for all the 'normalcy' that Greg got to have, he didn't have the unconditional love and support from his parents that Steven received for all his life.

** In the Internet age this is sometimes referred to as "comparing your life to someone else's highlight reel"; that is, looking at someone's carefully-curated account on Instagram or other social networking sites and imagining that their life is endlessly magical and wonderful. This naturally makes one's own life seem drab and boring, even though almost everyone has moments of joy and excitement and there's no reason to assume that someone stranger online really has it that much better.

The PC version is no longer getting updates frequent enough for this example to make sense
Deleted line(s) 100 (click to see context) :
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is the ultimate example of this. 360 players are always complaining that their version never gets any updates like the PC version. PC players are always complaining that their version ''is'' getting updated, screaming TheyChangedItNowItSucks to the point of having an aneurysm towards everything from a class update to more hats to a small tweak in the netcode. A fair number of players have likely switched sides by now.
