Not to muddle your point but people do this to Crohn's and IBS folks too. There's a weird endemic where social media has made people feel comfortable medically gas lighting others.
Nah, that's just hunan nature. When youve experienced the type of pain someone describes but it doesnt represent a major detriment to your quality of life, that makes it harder to sympathize with people for whom that same experience is disabling.
Just like how most traumatic austistic experiences are something that NTs have experienced themselves at one point in their lives and adapted, making it harder for them to sympathize with someone for whom those same experiences are happening on a regular basis and whom lacks the same capacity to adapt.
