When you're sick, do you turn into a grumpy troll, a helpless kitten, or a silent monk?

[7Phoenix7]

I woke up feeling sick... thanks to to a friend lol.

🤧🤒😷

[DJB72]

I have a six year old. I'm a single dad. I don't have the luxury of any of that. A month ago I had flu bad enough that my late wife's brother insisted I let my son stay with them for a few nights so I could get to a doctor and recover.

My son went, but I self medicated because my track record the last five years would have had the doc admit me to hospital for rest and to make sure if wasn't Covid for the third time. But if they suspect Covid they take your temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose and clotting factor hourly...

Fuck that.

Stayed in bed drinking honey, lemon and ginger tea and taking paracetamol for the fever for a week. Slept mostly, was very grateful to my brother-in-law.

[7Phoenix7]

you would stress me out as a friend or partner. I would argue that you should go to the doctor lol and if you don't I'd go into nurse mode and be checking your vitals every so often lol

[DJB72]

In the last 12 months I spent a week in hospital with Covid, Kidney failure, Liver failure and a DVT that was fully blocking the femoral vein in what's left of my right leg SIMULTANEOUSLY. All probably triggered by the Covid though. Then in October I broke a toe getting ready for my wife's funeral but I don't have nerves in my foot so I didn't realise at the time. Two weeks later it had to be amputated.

I'm not going into hospital again unless I'm dying! My son wouldn't be able to cope.

[Purpleronnie]

I’m generally a silent monk , unless of course it’s “man flu” then I’m probably more of a grumpy troll.


My first brush with Covid put me in bed for 12 days straight , it felt like my bones were on fire and I was completely energy sapped and couldn’t eat but I never reached out to a friend , family member , doctor or even emergency services even though it was probably warranted on a few days in the middle.


I lost 17lbs in weight , drinking only water , slept naked on my bathroom floor on multiple occasions , ( because it has has cool stone tiles ) woke with my bed wetter than a seals pocket through sweats and fevers and took so many otc drugs I swear I was rattling but otherwise as quiet as a monk !!

[L_Lawliet17]

Helpless kitten. I got the flu in April and was sidelined for days. I could barely open my eyes because I had a really bad headache. If I moved my eyes, it'd make me dizzy. I was constantly freezing with a high fever, and I could barely breathe. The only pampering I got was when my mom checked on me twice to make sure I was okay. Not really pampering, but I wished I could've gotten more than that. I could barely make it out the bed to make my own food.

[Genie23]

Real footage of me getting up in the morning when I'm sick

When I'm sick and someone tried to talk to me

I'm a grumpy troll 🧌 and I've embraced it. The best thing people can do when I'm sick is stay away from me unless they want to get dirty looks, hear me sigh over and over again and show how annoyed I feel, lol.

[Genie23]

I guess most people are helpless kitten or silent monk or both. Guess people like me have almost gone extinct, lol

[sage2021]

A helpless kitten - very kind and very sweet but I want someone there with me to pamper me 🙂

[WhiteSteve]

Oh no! I’m so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!

I HATE being sick, lmao. Which is weird, because most people love it, right?🙃😝

I’d say I’m between grumpy and silent. My main move is just sleep until I can’t sleep anymore. Just don’t be conscious for the illness😂 I’d be a big Hibernol guy, if available, lmao

[7Phoenix7]

me too... i slept like a little bear earlier today. The sleep helped

[WhiteSteve]

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

The three of them, overall, but there's a logic !

When sick, I become a somewhat helpless kitten, caught in a three days long depressive phase, because of this I appear as a silent monk, with a grumpy option, but it's just a cover. So that the world doesn't click on the kitten within me. Magic trick.

That magic is easily debunked by a lover though... Oh well

Good luck with the bubonic plague 🍀

[7Phoenix7]

lmao you're cute little silent... grumpy kitten 🥰

[Chazmatazz269]

Those are interesting characterizations.
I’m not exactly silent, but i don’t complain about being sick. I do everything i can to mitigate the symptoms while trying to remain as productive as normal without infecting others. If i speak, it’s usually an apology and a warning to stay away unless they want what i got. Ell oh ell!

[HawkPerception]

Iunno, but I do just wanna lie down and have everyone leave me alone. I don't want to get anyone sick and I just want to rest. I turn into a bit of a bitch when I'm sick. I can handle external pain pretty well, but not internal stuff.

There's actually science behind it.

[Simslover92]

I'm pretty calm and to myself when sick so probably the silent monk.

Sorry you're sick. Being sick sucks.

[7Phoenix7]

it does suck. im feeling better than earlier, thanks.

i went silent mode as well lol

[Simslover92]

I'm glad to hear that! You're welcome. 😊

[Joshydavid25]

😌🙏🙏..

[7Phoenix7]

same lol but im a silent kitten monk

[Joshydavid25]

Why not the Silent Phoenix Monk?

[ohsheeT]

I like to be alone so I can be a silent monk I heal faster.. I hate to say this But if anybody is around or come around I'm a grumpy monk lol

[7Phoenix7]

loll grumpy monk thats funny

[ohsheeT]

Lol, I don't think monks get grumpy. Do they .. welll I could have said a helpless kitten monk. Lol

[AydenHazor]

Sorry to hear your feeling duck! I'm trying to do better at reading when I'm stuck lately, but I'm general I try to push through and not let on that I'm under the weather

[7Phoenix7]

im feeling better :)

[AydenHazor]

That's wonderful to hear! ☺️

[Geo1970]

I personally recognise, “Oh Dear here we go again”.
So personally, I believe that if you have become ill, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! So just let it get on with itself until it has completed its mission!
That mission is, total destruction. You will then subsequently come through the other side, and once again smiling 😊.

[Shiprex]

I'm seldom sick and try to work off minor ailments. However when I WAS sick for 3 weeks with covid I was a coughing, sweating shivering bed ridden mess. I try not to get grumpy and be more of a get on with things as best I can.

[MrChinaski]

Total grumpy troll. Everyone knows man-flu is worse. :)

[7Phoenix7]

yea LOL

[Miristheiss]

I just go lay down and you'll never hear anything from me for hours or days.

[lyrem04]

Helpless kitten… it’s depressing I can’t do anything my head is pouring, ears ringing and nose running it’s the worse🥲

[aquamarine321]

It depends on what the sickness is, I haven’t been terribly sick in years, I’m usually up and about doing things like normal, plus for some reason people don’t believe whenever I’m sick, because I don’t look sick to them

[Miah06]

Aww. Poor pookie, come let miah make you better😭

[7Phoenix7]

yes please lol

[Anonymous]

I mostly like a silent monk :P

[7Phoenix7]

me too lol

[Opinion Owner]

Great minds think alike ;)

[queenofcardio]

All the above , lots of crying. I hate being sick

[Babygirl_S]

The only thing that can truly irritate me is a lack of sleep. I simply can’t stay calm if that happens. If I can sleep, I like to be just asleep taking a break when sick

[WhiteThought]

Silent monk I guess. I don't really talk or want to deal with anything. I just want to be isolated until I feel better.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I may look terribly sick but I refuse to let feeling under the weather slow me down.

[Rei13]

Helpless kitten sounds cute but honestly I just embrace my inner swamp goblin when I am feeling unwell

[jamesgoldman]

Silent
Nothing painkillers and a hot toddy won't fix

[WonderingManII]

It all depends. When I'm sick I just quietly lay down.

[SotiCoto]

I mostly just get confused, pop some painkillers and try to sleep it off.

[Blackcat1952]

Well, I'm sorry you got sick. Hope you feel better. For me when I.
'm sick. I have to say a silent Monk

[JudahTribe44]

Cross between the troll & the kitten. Which, is when having a caring, sympathetic, companion really is a life saver. Unfortunately, I have to suck it up & pretend I'm an American Gladiator...

[Abbycado]

I turn into…Crabby Abby XD

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao that's cute <3

[Abbycado]

@7Phoenix7 💕

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Silent monk. I hate it when people assume symptoms and compare it to themselves

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Or i go emo

[Reijen]

Monk I suppose. I get up, silently complain to myself, and yearn for the time I can return to sleep.

[beenherebefore]

A silent monk. I just want to stay in my corner while I recover.

[Kingofkings1992]

I guess “silent monk” is closest thing to me of those choices. Am certainly never helpless or a troll

[LiamS95]

For some weird reason I get very horny when I'm sick.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Silent and grouchy

[7Phoenix7]

[strateguy632]

Silent because it is a strain to talk.

[Bricealan]

@7Phoenix7 Silent Monk

[exitseven]

I mostly suffer in silence,

[talka20]

Mostly 3rd option... sometimes 2nd

[Aakash_Hangargi]

All three in exact order

[wynning]

A stubborn sicko fuelled by liquid willpower?

[Circushowcowboy]

I get pretty silent.

[Jeff51]

If im really sick I do.

[Lilly1979]

All three just leave alone.

[TallAnon]

I'm able to ignore it until I'm bedridden

[Panthero80]

It depends on whom I'm around.

[Godihateyou]

I drink a fuck tun of Orange juice amd go to work.

[DishLady]

Silent…

[WhitneySnow]

Kitten lol

[Monica04]

A helpless kitten thinking I’m dying.
