    Just because you suffer more, you have no right to deny others the relief that comes with the realization that you are not stupid/slow/disorganized/not intelligent enough to plan/etc. you don’t have any insight into the lives of others, and pretending is a skill learned early in our society.

    Yes, there are people who just happily collect labels and like to wear them. But they don’t take anything away from you. They don’t go to a doctor and take your appointment slot. They don’t eat all your medication.

    Suffering is not a competition. Compassion is not a zero-sum-game. everybody wins if there is more of it.
