Yes, it does suck.
What annoys me are the chipper "How are you?" questions.
"Well, I'm pretty miserable, thanks for asking. I'm constantly, often acutely uncomfortable, I can't control my own body, every peripheral movement startles me, every loud sound irritates me, I can't do most of the things that used to make me happy, and I won't even get into Cog Fog..."
But of course no one wants to hear that, especially when it never changes.
So I never answer, and instead turn the question around: "How are YOU doing?", but boy, I wish they would stop asking me that.
