What is another word for unpleasant experiences?
Pronunciation: [ʌnplˈɛzənt ɛkspˈi͡əɹɪənsɪz] (IPA) 
Unpleasant experiences can be a part of life and it's helpful to have a variety of words to describe them. Instead of using the same phrase over and over again, try using some of these synonyms: difficult circumstances, distressing situations, trying times, unfavorable situations, hard moments, uncomfortable incidents, unsettling circumstances, and unwelcome events. Each of these phrases can be used to describe a range of situations that are not enjoyable or ideal. By having a diverse vocabulary to draw from, we can better articulate our feelings and experiences, which can lead to greater understanding and empathy from others.
