I realize how horrible I sound, but I am here to learn (and correct myself if need be).

I wish I could show you this person's social media. Damn near every second post is of injury and bruises, the mishaps that caused them, illness, mental illness, conditions, pain, suffering and the like. It's almost never serious. It plays more like they enjoy being ill/broken/compromised. In the sort of "look at me! I have a booboo! Look at me! I am sooooooo sick!" way.

Its gone on for years.

Recently they started posting about how they were having active cluster headaches, with filtered and edited "feel sorry for me" selfies to match.

My ex had cluster headaches, and as I understand them, that and some other things aren't adding up.

I suspect she's faking it because:

- Aren't clusters so intense, using phones - let alone posing, taking selfies, editing them, and typing a sob story would be impossible or at the very least extremely unlikely?

- The first time they said they were on day 3 of a headache. But aren't clusters intense, almost rythmic bursts of pain, not consistent and ongoing like migraines?

- the language they use. I don't want to quote them in case they're exposed, but something about the way they talk about them gives me the impression they don't know what they are and are googling as they go. Like, they've gotten things even non-sufferers are well aware of wrong.

- Their solution seems to lie down with hot/cold packs (and take photos). Obviously people handle pain differently, but that seems a bit too comfy.

- They have every special attention diagnosable condition on earth. It's becoming difficult to believe. I can't help but think they recently learned of clusters, and added them to their collection.

- Also isn't June migraine/headache awareness month? Right on time.

Now, I just want to emphasize: I don't mean to sound like an ass. I know every body is different, and there is no blueprint or standard for how we tolerate (or even acquire) pain. I also know clusters aren't the most studied thing on earth, and there is still much to learn and document.

But considering this person is ALWAYS ill, and they're always making a show of it, never to raise awareness, just to be seen having them...

I'd like to know, genuinely, from you guys. Based on this description, does it seem sus to you? Or am I really just being a dick about it?

P.S. I get horrible migraines, but I have never had a cluster headache. My ex is the only person I've seen battle with them.

I posted this in the weekly thread and at least two other people agreed, so I'm posting it on its own to see if anyone else is experiencing this one.

What I remember is that the song was so talked about because, outside of the controversial subject matter, Cardi & Nicki collaborated to reconcile after they had years of beef.

And in the music video they swopped colours with Cardi wearing pink, and Nicki wearing yellow to symbolize the olive branch they extended to each other.

But people didn't buy it and a slew of conspiracy theories popped up that Nicki had died and was replaced with a clone, or that Cardi B had dirt on her and was blackmailing her, or just generally that their collaboration/reconciliation was insincere and engineered with an agenda.

I am usually a skeptic, but this one's not sitting well. There is something so disconcerting and unsettling about the "actual" Megan Thee Stallion version. Thoughts?
