Me: but what if I am faking my illness??
Friends: no. You are not faking. You are very sick.
Me: but maybe I can push through it with sheer will! Maybe it's just a bad attitude
Friends: no
(Later)
Me: hey guess what? I wasn't faking.
Friends: no. You are not faking. You are very sick.
Me: but maybe I can push through it with sheer will! Maybe it's just a bad attitude
Friends: no

It’s very much just me not trying.
