Annoyed at calling it a fight?

[u/Rachel21321]

Anyone else thankful but also get annoyed when people call you a fighter or this cancer a fight or that you are so brave? I don’t think I am any of those things. I am doing what I need to do to get better. It doesn’t feel like anything I’m really doing is “fighting” or “brave” or even changing the situation aside from making decisions. It feels like these steps I take either work or they don’t but not through much conscious fault of my own. To me it just feels like this shitty thing to hopefully get through.

I'd definitely say it felt weird when people said that, but I wouldn't say I resented it or was annoyed by it. They were expressing their support the best way they knew how, and I always appreciated it even wasn't quite how I would've said it.
