am i the only one who gets extremely frustrated by this?

TW (maybe? idk. it's just about hating life)

When someone ("a real adult") asks me about the university and how I am in general, and I honestly tell them how hard it is, how much I struggle, and so on, their answer is always something like: "Real life will be worse", followed by a light laughter. (I guess I'm not living a real "life then", just a simulation or something. Demo mode? Beta version? idk) Like wtf?! Why would anyone think that this helps? Or do they purposefully want me to feel worse? Rather say nothing but this. This single sentence makes me so angry and frustrated, hopeless even. I hate the university, I feel overwhelmed, I feel like a piece of shit every day, I don't see the point in living, and I hope for a better future, but they manage to destroy the little ray of hope in me with one short sentence. If all of this is only getting worse, why the fuck am I doing this? Why is anyone doing this? Are "the real adults" also struggling, if this is the first thing that comes to their minds? But then why are they laughing about it? I mean yes, everyone is struggling in a way or order, but is this what life is about? Really? Why don't I end everything right away, because I already hate it and there's seemingly no hope, it's only downhill from now on.

They really don't understand how bad I feel, but after statements like this, how am I supposed to open up and explain my feelings? I guess I'm overreacting, but still, a reaction like this makes me rage inside, I can't even put that feeling into words - anger, hate, hopelessness... I guess, I feel like my problems are dismissed or seen as not real, just because I'm not in the labour market yet. I'm not qualified to have problems. lol
