I recently met with an old friend, we played basketball together and I had said previously that I had mad knees over chat. We we were playing on this really small field where you just run a few steps and you're at the other side of the court. I took the ball from him once and then he told me "You don't have bad knees, you must have been lying when you said that because that is not having bad knees." I get bad knees from running like 3 km outdoors and I have had this problem for so many years, I cant even walk in stairs the day after I have been out running. And for him to call me a liar in front of everyone hurt me, it also easier to shrug off when it's a random person giving me shit but I see him as a friend so it's a different story. and all things I have not been able to do because of my knees. I didn't respond I always just stay quiet when people offend me, it's like I care more about others than myself. He then also added, "or you just don't know what it's like to truly have bad knees because that ain't it.". Do you also just stay quiet when being stepped on? I feel so tried of people, I left our messenger group chat, I just don't feel for dealing with more of this for now.
