I love it when I tell doctors that I’m a LARPer and an endurance hiker and one of the most frustrating things about chronic pain is how hard it is to go to the park and do my favorite physical activites, and they’ll look at me like a dog that’s just been shown a card trick and ask, “Have you tried exercising?”
Brother, you don’t even know how bad I wish we could try exercising rn
Chronic illness patients: so I really like to do [physical activity] but it’s gotten like, physically hard to do lately
Genius doctors: have you tried increasing your physical activity?
“I’m so fucking good at health.”
I once had to patiently tell a doctor “I don’t really think it’s ethical to ask me to exercise my way out of a pain spike?” and she looked like it was the first time she’d ever really thought about it.
Fun fact: some chronic illnesses get WORSE with more exercise. Enough that for one it is literally on the wikipedia page. Guess what doctors still suggest as a first option when you have it?
Guess.
Go on. Guess.

Rejection-sensitive or not, you have to accept when people say “no” and realize that people’s “no” is not about you. A boundary is never about you, it’s about that person’s sense of security. Do not make people’s personal limits a matter of targeted offence.

Concept: magic school drama with one of those goofy house systems where the protagonist gets assigned to what is widely regarded as the boring house for boring people, and their central emotional conflict revolves around trying to prove they’re Not So Ordinary After All™; eventually their efforts lead them to accidentally discover that the school is actually some sort of wildly unethical human experiment, and the reason their house is the boring one is that it’s the control group.
