What I found was that people cannot relate to individuals with chronic pain or illness.

If the person talks about it most will interpret that as complaining or having negative view on life.

It’s quite hard for me to watch as my loved ones get rejected by people in their environment if they sometimes mention their pain.

My advice is always to just not talk about it. I feel like most people today just don’t have the capacity to be emphatic, instead they give advice and get hurt when the advice isn’t accepted, accusing you of being negative and not accepting “help”.
