I often see people online refer to themselves as “spoonies” or as “not having enough spoons”, and I have no idea what this means. Can someone explain??

One very important thing to take note of is that knowledge of spoon theory is not an understanding of spoon theory. This is another reason why spoons are effective visualizations, because it helps point out that people have different spoons, and different ways of recovering spoons. Your dishwasher might help you recover spoons quickly, but I don’t have one, and recovering a single spoon is a concentrated effort in doing absolutely nothing else.
The absolute most important thing to take away is that you will never fully grasp the spoon situation of other people, and that simply being understanding is sometimes the best you can do.
