Don’t be fooled.

They just don’t give their feelings or conditions the same words like the rest of the world does.

They have a panic attack and it’s not a ‘panic attack’ despite all the symptoms they have that are a panic attack. I’ve known too many of these types that get anxious and then suddenly claim they are fine and never get panic attacks. And everyone close to them are sworn to secrecy to not show they ever had such a weak moment.

They want to be un-relatable to what they associate as ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

I once had explained what a flu is to a vegan who caught a flu a week later only she didn’t call it a flu and she refused to see a doctor. She decided she ate something that had pesticides in it. But oh no she never got the flu or Covid. It could never be called that because the vegan diet is too sanctified to be associated with such ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

Wtf does your diet have to do with catching airborne diseases anyway?
Did she really think swapping meat for broccoli would magically make her immune to all illness?

Oh she was hard committed to riding that rocket down the delusional path for as long as it would take her.

Did you not know that your body works with the resources you give it? That's okay. Here is an accredited article on the subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9772031/ A system that has the nutrients to make an immune response is more effective than the malnourished one.
