You wanna know what makes that other guy a Chad? The fact that he doesn't need to focus on who cares about him when he's sick. Pity parties are a huge turn off for the majority of people. I think it's a subconscious reaction that most people have regardless of who the other person is. Unless you are already close to someone, whether family or a close friend, you shouldn't expect them to feel bad for you. I wouldn't expect the clerk at a gas station to feel bad for me if I came in late to pick up some NyQuil. But we'll definitely shoot the shit about how being sick fucking blows.

I think you should get a pass for pity parties with your own family. I get really sick like once every five years. By Zeus, I want to be coddled when I'm really sick!
I would die of embarrassment if someone pitied me while picking up otc medicine. Like there’s the “ope you look rough, good luck” level, but anymore and it’s just uncomfortable. All I want my employer to say when I’m sick is “do you want to work from home”
I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.
I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.
