Perhaps that was just his way of coping. I try to joke about mine, because it makes me feel better about having the problem in the first place. It's hard to deal with it when people bully me for it. I also feel better when I talk about it in general, especially if someone else knows what I'm going through either by experience, association, or study.

How do you expect people to forget about your problem if you make a conscious effort to remind them, just to make yourself feel better about it?
