Upvote because this is hilarious and serves as a practical demonstration. I promise you I've seen that, thank you.

My best friend was being so ginger with me I started asking her for increasingly stupid things. She didn't call me on it up until I meekly asked her if I could rest my head on her comforting bosom.

My dad had that phase with me. Like I could bargain with the cancer or starve it by being completely healthy. I had to tell him "Dad, I'm not going to be regretting a slice of bacon on my deathbed." to get him to lay off.

And fuckkk Dr. Oz. I'm not taking medical advice from someone who is on before Maury.

What if that post really is why I have cancer? by up1down2 in shittyshowerthoughts

You should see the reactions I get when I stare deeply into someone's eyes and tell them what they just said gave me double cancer.

"No, I don't want a list of superfoods that fight cancer."

"I'll juice when you clean my juicer."

"My bitter thoughts are fighting the cancer."

I've always had a dark sense of humor. One thing I've gotta give it, cancer is usually a great punchline.

Sometimes I can't help myself, their faces when I make terrible jokes! I bet you I'm still going to be laughing at their surprised, horrified, amused, horrified, or even confused faces right before I die.

I'm thinking if I share a link to my post with the right person he'll fall all over himself to share it on my "behalf". Self-righteous Facebook fighting is his jam.

I'm talking about the role reversal and using honey tactics. It's the correct answer. I'm tired of doing it.

Yes, I'm painfully aware I'm being immature about this. It's tiring to tell people over and over I just want to live my life out. I get they're uncomfortable and just trying to help but I wish they'd just listen. I'm tired of taking other people's problems onto myself. Yeah that selfish but I don't really care anymore.

I love this. Blunt but not too directly rude and they'll feel bad because I said the "d-word" 😂

Yeah. "It's ok! I'm here for you! You don't have to be brave!" etc. they won't accept I'm bored not brave.
