Hi :) is there a fallacy committed when a person disputes other's experiences because someone is experiencing a more disastrous or a very unfortunate experience?For example a person claims that someone has no right to be sad because he can eat three times a day while others cannot even spend for a meal. Thank you.

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

No, emotion is not logic. The first challenge is to examine the reasoning behind the claim. We do not evaluate an emotional claim, but only the logic behind it. No logic, no value- you are dismissed.

Depending on the subject of the discussion, it's some form of Whataboutism , I'd say.
