Pick a struggle is an internet slang phrase used sarcastically or playfully to tell someone they’re complaining about too many problems at once, especially when the complaints start to sound exaggerated, contradictory, or a little dramatic.
It’s not about denying that problems exist – it’s about calling out the pile-on.
