Struggling to Find Understanding for My Chronic Pain

why does it never feel easier to talk to those who would understand the lifestyle I am forced to live? why is it so stressful just trying to find a person who understands what chronic pain really is, what bad days really are without feeling invalid, or judged for not being old or broken enough?
