Their experiences aren’t nullified because you don’t share them. It being their circle doesn’t strictly mean they hang around with likeminded individuals or those who suffer the same ailments, societal standing and location are pretty important factors.

The whole point of their comment was to imply everyone’s feeling that way which isn’t true in my case either

Where did you get any implication of everyone? The thread is about 1 in 10 people, if he was the 1, would it not make sense another 9 said otherwise?

They said “sorry bud”, as if their experiences don’t matter because they don’t align with their own. It was a redundant comment.

The person didn’t even remotely suggest everyone

Only if we're talking about an even distribution. I don't think we know that.

And I don’t think someone sharing anecdotes that match the context is suddenly nullified by someone else’s anecdote.

I have no idea if 1/10 is true, I’d bet it’s a lot higher than that depending on location and social status. I don’t think it’s remotely far to believe less affluent areas and limited access to health care would see numbers greater than 1/10.
