I’m not saying you’re downplaying this, but this sort of comparison always feels like “I have a slight cough and I don’t feel impaired by my ailments, so why do you complain so much about your bronchitis?”
That’s a fair point, I suppose for every each of these there’s degrees of let’s say severity… But then at which point does it become a diagnosable issue instead of a negligible quirk?
My point is, these are so many and so widespread that on the surface you couldn’t find anyone who doesn’t have any of them to some degree at least, which then makes the whole thing moot in a way.
