Maybe it's time to examine that instinct to automatically one-up or otherwise try to invalidate people who mention hardship, whether that be pain, illness, trauma, grief, etc.
Suffering isn't a zero-sum game. I assure you, there's enough to go around.

highly discomfited by how normal it apparently is in my environs to be openly judgemental about the [un]healthiness of other people's food choices
and furthermore how much of these judgements are literally just vibes rather than any real assessment of health impact

I feel like Stress would be the only one taking proper care of the mini-hermits
"Oh, have you come to our tea party?" Stress says, delighted. She sits at a hastily-constructed birch wood table, with several other mini-hermits sitting with her. Concerningly, it is not all of her mini-hermits. It's only about ten of them. Jevin is not sure he wants to ask where the other eight are. Jevin is very sure he won't like the answer.
"Yeah, sure, tea party," Cleo says, carefully folding herself next to the table and taking a sip of the tea that that a very pleased-looking mini-Iskall has poured for her. She looks around. She stops. "Do, uh, most of your tea parties involve... are those player heads? ...do you have extra?"
"Oh, yes, most tea parties involve a little bit of murder. We're practicing poisons."
Oh, no. Now Jevin has to ask, if he wants to be responsible. "Is that where the others...?"
"Oh. Oh no, good heavens no!" Stress says, laughing. "We just tested them on adult-Iskall."
Jevin and Cleo stare at Stress for a moment. Slowly, Cleo puts down her cup of tea again.
"So I'm to presume this isn't almond tea?" she says weakly.

had a cup of coffee last night — i do not usually drink coffee, not for any big reason, just because deviations from my routine have to be planned and when other drinks are on offer i default to the one i am most familiar with, and because i don’t usually drink coffee i didn’t realize that the caffeine would actually make my brain function the way that i am now certain my brain should be functioning. like i usually take an entire day to shower or cook or whatever it is but i cleaned the entire apartment and made my salad as well, and there was none of the “lying down for 3 hours for no reason doing nothing” in between? and now i am feeling very tangled and sad because i honestly did not realize my brain full on does work different on a lot of levels, and will need accommodations for things
