No I get that completely. My friend had low vitamin d once and felt pretty crappy because of it (as one would) and she texted me “wow who knew a vitamin deficiency could mess you up so bad” mind you I have multiple severe vitamin/mineral deficiencies that sent some of my organs into early stage failure so I replied “me lol” and she said “oh right sure. Now I know how you feel”

I feel like the issue is them dismissing our pain, not them experiencing their own. Her ankle certainly hurts and she’s fine to express her pains… if it wasn’t for the additional context that she disrespects your pain

My boyfriend has been complaining about how bad his finger hurts for two days. He hurt it while trying to scrape a cookie off the baking sheet. Meanwhile I’m sitting here with my chronic illness and day to day pain everywhere like dude really…👀
