OMG, yes. Also telling everyone about your anxiety, nerdiness and introversion, talking about all of it often and without fear.[/quote]

I don’t actually mind these people — if you have a debilitating chronic illness it kind of is your entire life.  Although tbf most people I know with illnesses like that are encyclopedias of tv shows/movies they enjoy because they don’t get out much and I like hanging out with them to talk about that.[/quote]

I think PP is more referring to people who claim to have a disease or affliction but then show zero symptoms and it does not actually appear to curb their life in any way, but they still talk about it/post about it all the time.

I know a woman who has made having ADHD her whole personality and posts about it online all the time and brings it up in about 80% of conversations, but she's extremely high functioning. She's my boss's boss, she and her DH invest in real estate on the side, she's a parent and seems to be very on top of her. I'm not questioning her ADHD diagnosis, but she's one of the highest functioning people I know, period, not just with an executive functioning disorder. Maybe her ADHD is mild or she's just very well supported, but it comes off as very sympathy-seeking because it's very clear that her ADHD does not hold her back at all. I really think she just wants people to feel bad for her, or is trying to build herself up even more. It comes off as really whiny and disingenuous.[/quote]

Be thankful you are not a Zebra. Most doctors have little understanding of it. I don't expect others to get it. There is often very little symptom wise for others to ever notice. [/quote]
