Yeah, I hear you all.

I've only struggled for 4 months with a health issue, but I found friends just don't want to deal with it.

I understand, and as a guy, I tend not to expect nurturing from my friends. That said, I found that not only do friends/people not help, they also are sure to mock and belittle, especially behind your back.

I guess even that doesn't surprise me or make me bitter. It's just the way people are. Kind of sucks.
