does living in paterson desensitize you to other peoples problems because you are surrounded with death and gangs and misery?.. makes you lack sympathy?
When people complain about little things like "oh my mom said I can't go out" or "my mom is such a bitch she won't take me here" then yes, it annoys me to no end. If it's something more in terms of depression or problems that are really hurting someone, then no I am 100 percent sympathetic
