Yep, like I totally came out to face increased harassment for shits and giggles, it's so much fun.

Yep, so many "self help" books have such great advice like "No energy? Have you tried going for a walk?". WITH WHAT ENERGY‽‽‽

[-] Captain_Waffles@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Like I have to ignore a lot of pain constantly, but that's cause I live with chronic pain 24/7/365. So if I want to do anything with my life I have to deal with it when it's manageable. But when it passes my threshold I am out. Done, I need to rest, take a break, meds, nap, etc. And then I get shamed by people "for not being able to handle a little pain", even though I'm in more pain every day than many people have ever been in.

Yeah, saying migraine is "just a headache" is like saying a heart attack is "just a little chest pain". It's one of the most common chronic health problems, and yet it's significantly mocked. So annoying.

I've done this about migraine. "Incurable neurological brain condition" gets lots of sympathy, migraine gets "oh boohoo, you have a "headache"".

Yep. Apparently babies deserve to suffer for...being born? I've been told I should see my horrible migraine as a gift from God that he thinks I'm strong enough to carry. 🤬 Ah yes, the "gift" of unending pain. That's not a gift, that's a curse.

Yep, but if you ask them why babies have cancer they suddenly don't have time to debate you.

[-] Captain_Waffles@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yep. Like rape was considered property damage. Gross.

Yeah, they really don't like you pointing out that they cherry picked the bible when what they are saying is the opposite of what a quote means in full.

Hey look, it's me

[-] Captain_Waffles@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

[-] Captain_Waffles@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Or stuff like

Me- mentions in passing that I have a chronic illness

Them- watch this 2 hour rambling video about a completely different condition and you'll be cured

Me- no, that would be like telling a paraplegic to watch a video about diabetes and then they'll no longer be paralyzed

Them- I was just trying to help, you just want to be in pain for the pity party
