What is your interest in chronic illnesses? Are you doing some unofficial research, or something?
I have hEDS, and I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends also have chronic illnesses/diseases/whatever, we’re chronic. I was curious if maybe living with smt like that teaches you a different lesson, and maybe it makes u naturally inclined to act a certain way or like certain traits? When we all met, most of us weren’t diagnosed, and we def didn’t talk about it, but it clicked way better than a lot of my other, less close friends. I’m also really interested in data and all the statistics behind everyday life, so I guess it’s kind of a passion crossover? 🙃
Also I just read ur bio, u like Catcher!! I just finished reading it for English, it was great! The ending was a letdown to me, but that’s just me, I know it was great anyways, and it’s realistic 🙃

Hi Bendy!!
Thank you so much for making this thread for us! I see what you mean, now, by the connection between chronic illness and personality traits. That is a really fascinating question. Have you noticed any trends so far? It sounds like you do have a passion … can’t wait to see where it takes you!
Your inquiry has added a new element to my cancer diagnosis. Most significantly, you have helped me to identify with a whole new community. Plus, I’ve also found another Catcher fan!! I think that was the first book I ever liked. I read it in high school, too!
Hope you have a good rest of the week—Catch u later!

ty! No trends yet, the sample space is too small to be conclusive 😅 I’m glad I could do some good though! I hope you get better, can I pray for you? All the best! ☺️
