"Pain is always new to the sufferer, but loses its originality for those around him" and "Everyone will get used to it except for me"

I was reading an article today and came across these quotes from 19th French writer Alphonse Daudet who wrote a book about pain. I thought they applied nicely to hairloss.

It is truly a personal hell that no one can understand until it happens to them.

Unless it hits you, people generally won't care about other people's suffering.

When someone i know is having rough time and that makes me feel down,I start to value/care for that person even more.

I was talking about other people's struggling, like how people only cared about ALS because of the ice bucket challenge and even then they still didn't care about ALS.

There even is a thing called Shadenfreude
Some people rejoice when you are suffering
