I am very honest. I find it's easier to listen to their questions and answer them. I don't push them into acceptance, but allow them to decide for themselves how much they want to know. Anyone who doesn't want to know and understand isn't friend material and doesn't matter as much to me in the long run

I've given up. They think I'm just making things up.

It depends on how much they need to know. Mostly, I just give a rundown of my relevant symptoms and any accommodations I need at the moment. Or I'll say that I have a neuroimmune illness and leave it at that.

I think it's best to describe how you feel and what things are like on a relatable level, so that others can understand.

If I am given negativity, I offer to pull out my "medical rap sheet." If they are actually serious and curious, I go in a little with the larger issues but not into details until we know each other more.

I tend to over share because I'm constantly worried about being judged harshly and I hate people staring at me/mean mugging me.

This is one I really struggle with

I explain to my close friend because she frequently asks me. Otherwise, I don't explain much to other people. I feel good about having at least one person who knows well about my condition. If you dont have no friends to share, I recommend a counsellor. :)

I've never found a good way. I've got a couple siblings who won't talk to me anymore (religious and think it's demon possession) otherwise I just avoid people

At this point I don't...people don't care if they can't see it around here

I used to overshare with people, until I was told I was psycho or just making it up. So I keep mine hidden as best I can.
