Re: yr instructor
Glad you brought that up. Absolutely: Some people build up an ego-association with an ailment or "sensitivity", and this sounds like what you're referring to.
But this sheds light on Haynes's scenario work in this flick; it's like he knows about this and so he treads carefully, writing/directing "Carol" to not be an *overtly* attention-seeking type.
(Also reminded of the childhood hero in Proust's "Recherche...". He spent time in the household of a bedridden aunt who lived in "Combray". At one point the hero mentions that from time to time folks pondered out loud whether she actually ailed from something or not.)
