Most family and friends don't care or understand that inhaling perfumes and chemicals can affect my health and make me sick. They look at you like you're imagining it or just need to get over it. They are insensitive even if you have similar symptoms to someone with a food allergy they still don't get it and continue to wear scented products around you. They are able to breath fine so why can't you they think. Just wear a mask they say (like that keeps everything out). They can't feel what you feel so it must not be real. It doesn't matter that you are an honest person and just want to be taken seriously and given some empathy.
