That's just it, as long as you are talking about the pain, all I get to see is the broken zombie exterior. You're hurt, I can see that (probably). I feel for you, now tell me about the stuff I don't know!
You should also understand that I have no way to gauge whether my own aches are better or worse than yours. Maybe you really are in much more constant pain than I am or maybe I am just better at masking my ailments than you. Just from your words, I'm guessing I have the far better deal here, but there is no way to know for sure.
Don't let your pains define who you are. They are your circumstance, but they are not you.
Now, if you take the time to show me the great person who you really are underneath, you might suddenly find my hand on your shoulder and hear me say that I'd love to bear some of your pain for a while. You and I both know that doesn't actually change anything - but it does make us both feel better.
