      Hey, I know the feeling. Even when I say I'm in pain, people tell me "You don't look like you're in pain". It's very annoying but you have to remember that unlike a physical disability that can be seen (like paralysis or things like that) with us, the disability is internal and no one can feel or see the pain we experience. I'm not looking to be understood by people who don't experience what I experience and that's why I'm in a group of people who suffer from chronic pain, where I feel like I can really vent what I feel and people will understand what I'm talking about.
