I guess I am pretty set on knowing "yes, your feelings are valid". "it's you illness talking" seems the be the top one offensive. I'd rather admit to be emocore drama queen.

That is what makes it so confusing (at least to me): the exact words that people use, or the tone of voice -- all the cues, or clues, that distinguish between one meaning and another.
As an example: "it's your illness talking" could be either:
1. a simple statement of what the speaker thinks is the truth;
or
2. an attempt to discredit what you are saying, because the speaker is upset by it.
You have to use other clues (because it could be the exact same words) to tell which is the case.
Or it might be something else...
