I personally had a stye a few months ago, and it was also a topic of conversation last weekend with my sister-in-law who currently had one. So, not infrequently, I guess?

I'm not trying to be like "I have this very unique experience, and that should be everyone's experience", I just genuinely didn't think of styes as this ultra esoteric concept that people only understand in the abstract, i think of it as a relatively common, relatable experience that most people will probably have a few times in their life.

Is that not the case?
