Igg2

{I decided to go to a football game, so I posted a photo with my older sister on social media and I immediately was bombarded with the “I thought you were sick” comments. The photo is above!}

I’ve always thought it so funny that people who don’t experience any chronic pain/auto immune disease issues think that because I’m sick, I’m not allowed to have any fun. They seem to think I should just lay in bed, but insist I work and go to school full time.
There feels like the expectation to function at full capacity or not at all?
I’ve gotten so many questions about why I’m in public/not at school/not at work/at a party, and I’ve gotta say it’s exhausting having to explain myself to everyone I see.
No offense, but...
My condition(s) and there symptomatic severity is none of your business and I DO NOT have to answer any questions you may have.
I know there’s usually no ill intent behind the questions, but I’ve resorted to telling people to google it.

Am I being too harsh? Or dramatic? Or do you guys feel the same?

Have you ever been told to “smile through” your chronic illnesses? Or that you’d feel better if you didn’t “make yourself” sick? #
