Interestingly for people with colds the sympathy is also commonly misplaced, at least mistimed, namely the outer symptoms often only show up after the worst parts (sore throat, dizziness, nausea, headaches) are already overcome. |

Personally, I was going through some rough stress at work. Minute someone comes down with a cold, they got "oh god you don't look well at all. Have you spoke to the boss?". 5 minutes later I would get "so why isn't x done yet?" by the same person despite it being a known fact I'd been holding the weight of a two man team on my own for 18 months!
That made me feel even worse but once I got a handle on things (and an extra pair of hands), I noticed the interesting pattern in general.
