Yea, your right about being overly sensitive.

But, I just want people to beleive that I hurt. And when they see other people

doing it for entertainment, well, it makes them wonder, I think./

But, all in all, it's no big deal. It's good to laugh at things.

I hear you, and yet... People have such " black or white " brains. I

swear, to 90% of the population, if something is an " advantage " it

can't possibly be a disadvantage, in any way at all. The idea of an

illness that would confer any advantage is something utterly beyond

their understanding, until it happens to them.

One of my uncles (highly educated) pretty much turned against me

because he thought that my claim to have arthritis couldn't fit with

my moving gracefully - being flexible. So I must be a liar trying to

manipulate him. My relationship with him was never the same, and we're

not in contact now.

I don't have a solution, I just see more of a problem, maybe.
