RE: Let others go their own way.
Great stuff. Really well written post. It's like there is this certain variety of person who seems to take solace in illness and the attention it summons, soaking up the energy of people's empathy and concern for their condition and mistaking the medical treatment and all that care as something beneficial. I guess it's too deep in their subconscious for them to see the absurdity of it. They use unwellness to invite sympathy into their lives to the point that they start to enjoy it.
The way you put it makes it really easy for me to make my “unprofessional” diagnosis. Most people don’t receive enough acceptance from their parents and teachers and friends growing up.
