It is beyond me what makes them say this to be fair, if you have a serious health issue and refuse treatment then you are an idiot, being proud of it is some next level shit. I never heard an early stage cancer patient say "ah fuck it, still cute tho" and most of them aren't even to blame for their condition. I've always had a sort of fighter mentality myself, so I can't imagine what's it like to just comfortably give up on something all together.
