Yep. I’ve even heard people say things like “Gay people have the same rights as straight people. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as a straight man. So it’s not discrimination”. It’s mind boggling stupid and they know it.

Oof, this. And I have a lot of appointments cause of my stupid body forgetting how to work correctly.

Yep. Burnout can take aaaaageeessss to get over.

I like “stab it, strangle it, pull out its guts, and toss it off a cliff” 🤣

Yep. Like “You could achieve so much if only you put in a little effort”. 🗡️😵 Thanks for noticing how much effort I put in, I’ll be sure to try again in the future.

only ever had one that tried to sneak around.

Oh, so you do understand that some cats try to sneak around, but decided to be judgemental about something you have experience with.

Yep, it’s just practice, lots and lots of practice. I did it while making eggs- if I did it right I fried them, if I broke the yokes scrambled eggs it is. I was taught by an actual chef in culinary camp, but it took me awhile to actually get the technique down. I can one hand crack, but only if I don’t care about the yoke staying together.

Small suitcase or large cat? Cutie either way.

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

Yep, and it doesn’t help that so many people have a skewed idea of what the healthy weight for pets looks like. So many of my friends have been accused of starving their pets just because their pets aren’t fat. Like yes, you should be able to see a cat or dogs hips.

I had a psychiatrist send me off with the helpful suggestion to start working out, I was a lifeguard and literally had to work out to keep my job. He also told me I couldn’t have ADHD because I’d graduated high school, without checking if I actually had. Like I did, but he just assumed that. The kid who showed up twice a week and turned in work never also graduated. My school had an excellent graduation rate, just ignore all the people who graduated unable to read past a 5 year old level.

I’m still undiagnosed, though not for lack of trying. One doc wanted me to stop literally every medication I was on for like an entire month “to get a baseline”, and when I refused he prescribed me something I couldn’t take anyway, and I never went back. I’m chronically ill, that would literally land me in the hospital.

Great job being the sucky books. You completely nailed it and proved why this post exists by saying the same obnoxious things I’ve heard 5,000 times. I have an incurable chronic illness, that wall ain’t crumbling anytime soon short of a major advance in medical science. If I’m too exhausted to get to the toilet without help, how am I supposed to push through that?? Oh wait, I’ve tried pushing through that, you wanna guess what happens? I pass out, fun times.

The sad reality is people like you making assumptions about why someone they do not know is struggling. You are telling me I need to do something that is physically impossible. So yeah, saying it is easier than doing it when it can’t be done. I push through so much crap, an absurd amount of it, but when I hit my breaking point I stop. Pushing through has caused me more harm than good. And then people like you come along and tell me I “just have to push through”. NO! I’m gonna stick to respecting my body enough to listen to what it’s telling me.

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

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. Like trauma can make you sex repulsed, but it won’t change your sexuality.

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.

Lol, one of my friends cats responds to No and Idiot 🤣
