“You shouldn’t drink so much caffeine, it’s terrible for you!”

Ah, yes, let me abruptly stop one of my sources of functioning, putting myself in the position for withdrawal migraines and excessive daytime sleepiness at full force. I wasn’t aware you were a doctor, but clearly you seem to know my medical situation and the best advice for me personally.

Bonus: “You wouldn’t need the caffeine if you had better sleeping habits!”

I really hate it when I tell people about my narcolepsy and how it makes me feel like a non-narcoleptic does after a couple days of no sleep and their first reaction is:

“Haha, I know how that feels! I hardly ever sleep. XD”

Okay, well, you choose not to sleep. And half the time people say this, they don’t mean it. They say “lol I stay up for like two days straight all the time”. BS.

Stop comparing yourself staying up late and being tired the next day to my narcolepsy.

It’s obnoxious, and it lets me know that you need to make the conversation all about you when I let you know about a very personal illness I have.
