Technically I am safer than most humans. I have a job, a flat, etc. I live in a country with a good social net even if I were to lose my job.

Human experience is never absolute. You can’t really compare what you feel with what another person feels by looking just at your immediate situation. Experiences depend on personal history and expectations, even if you try to rationalize that other people are objectively in worse situations than you.
