Chronic Crying

Why does everyone start crying when they find out I have fibromyalgia and what I go through on a day to day basis. How is that helpful? At all? It's as if they believe that by getting super duper upset about it I'll somehow keep it together. Like Dane cook during his elevator routine. Angry man gets into a elevator and one of the things he comes up with to defuse the situation is to act more angry than the man in hopes that he'll realize it isnt' such a big deal. I've had probably half a dozen coworkers or friends and family start crying. And now three counselors. Seriously people? what's with the chronic crying!?!?!?!?
