Platitudes just hit different when they come from people who have their life together, who have no disabilities or illnesses of any kind to deal with, and who try to comfort you with the idea that "everyone else" also suffers like you do...when in fact, they don't.

"Normal", Non-Sleepies (people without sleep disorders), or you could call them abled people, don't need to deal with half shit than we who aren't like them need to deal with. They breeze through life without realizing how much easier life is for them when a single shopping trip doesn't take an entire day's worth of energy, while making you fear that the day after might also go into recovering. They sip their morning coffee and melt away their tiniest sleep inertia, while I am still dealing with waves of it two hours later from getting up - which takes minimum hour before my legs work.

I have thousands of examples of things like that, showcasing the differences between people like me, and those who have not even been graced with the difficulty of not being abled.

These platitudes really don't work when you speak to anyone who has real hardship in their lives, because...not everyone does have issues so big that they disrupt their life quality in significant manner. Yes, you have troubles, issues, bad days...but how about bad weeks, months, years, and decades? What about when someone has been on survival-mode since birth?

You can't say to those people, to us, "Everyone".
What you can do, is recognize your privileges, accept that not everyone is like you and everyone's struggles are different and affect them differently, and just...be silent instead.

Let people vent.

Listen to the pain that makes you uncomfortable.

And realize it isn't about you at all.

You can't empathize with everyone, but you can offer sympathy and compassion trough actions of kindness. Use that privilege to help them. Ease their burdens.

Just whatever you do...don't say "everyone".
