* In ''Videogame/Cyberpunk2077'', one sidequest deals with a cop neighbor of V's who is dealing with a combination of severe depression and PTSD from both having a close friend die recently as well as years on the force seeing the worst of [[WretchedHive Night City]]. After enough prodding, he decides to talk with V about his trauma, stating that one of the reasons he left the force was because his cop buddies stated that he had "pussy genes" when he tried to talk about his issues. The best resolution for the quest involves convincing Barry's cop friends that he's genuinely traumatized and needs actual support. Not doing so will lead to Barry [[DrivenToSuicide killing himself offscreen]] and the cops regretting their words.

* ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'' explores a world where [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Marinette]] StoppedCaring about protecting Paris after being left as TheOnlyOne actively trying to stop Hawk Moth's reign of terror, dealing with ApatheticCitizens who take her efforts for granted and a nominal partner who [[SkewedPriorities cared more about his romantic prospects]] than dealing with akuma. After she [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt retires]], passing on the Ladybug Earrings to a SketchySuccessor, [[TimeTravel Bunnyx]] attempts to force her back into the role by manipulating things behind the scenes. When she's finally forced out into the open and Marinette tells her in no uncertain terms that she ''refuses'' to take up the Earrings again, Bunnyx promptly calls her a "[[PrecisionFStrike selfish bitch]]," insulting her desire [[IJustWantToBeNormal for a normal life]] and insisting she ''needs'' to be Ladybug BecauseDestinySaysSo.
* ''Fanfic/WeightOffYourShoulder'' is a LighterAndSofter RecursiveFanfiction of ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'' where Marinette [[ForWantOfANail considers giving up her Guardianship and passing on the Earrings much sooner]], and Bunnyx actually comes back to speak to her ''before'' she follows through. However, Bunnyx shows a stunning LackOfEmpathy, blithely telling her to "suck it up" and that all her pain will be well worth it... before [[SayingTooMuch accidentally revealing]] that things will get ''much worse'' once [[spoiler:Shadow Moth successfully steals the Miracle Box and becomes Monarch]]. Despite Marinette and the Kwamis' clear horror at these revelations, Bunnyx continues insisting that they can't risk changing the future, condescendingly insulting Marinette and acting as though her desire to avert such horrible developments is childish and immature.

* It happens in ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'' when Marie Danvers urges her daughter [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Carol]] to stop her ongoing pity party and get her life back on track.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Edna does this to Elastigirl after the latter realizes that her husband has lied to her and is now on an island in the middle of nowhere.

* John Kimble (Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger) exhorts his young students to "[[MemeticMutation stop whining!]]" in ''Film/KindergartenCop''. It works out better than you'd expect.
* Galadriel seems to do this to Gimli in the movie-version of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing''. While in the book she's overwhelmingly sympathetic, and even shuts down her bigoted husband in defense of the Dwarves (causing him to apologize profusely), in the movie she seems to say something more like "We've all got problems."
* Mother Mary gives Elwood one during ''Film/BluesBrothers2000'' after he says "The orphanage is gone, Jake's gone, Curtis is gone! I've got no brother, I've got no roots, I've got no life, I've got nothing for the Christ's sake!".

* In ''Film/TakingChance'', Lt. Colonel Strobl is guilt-stricken due to the fact that when the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror war in Iraq]] kicked off, he volunteered for a staff position stateside so he could spend more time with his family, while others (including the young Marine he [[DueToTheDead volunteered to escort back home]]) are fighting and dying. An old war vet sets him straight after he starts verbalizing his angst.

* Laura angrily shames Frank Galvin in ''Film/TheVerdict'' when he's panicking about the trial and regretting not taking a deal the hospital made his client. [[spoiler: This despite her being TheMole.]]
