I'm sure this has been brought up many times before, so please feel free to delete if there is any violation here.

If you're among those who regularly go out in public, how do you deal with the inevitable stares, glares, chuckles, etc.? I know many people say to just ignore it, but for some of us, this is not so easy. The answer to "who cares?" is: I do. And, it's not quite as simple as just stop caring. Apologies for that.

I'm just curious how some of us put up with this and manage to push through, because I have certainly tried . . . and failed. That said, I embarrass easily, regardless, so perhaps that's a factor. But, even still, this scenario cuts much, much deeper than my normal level of embarrassment. I don't know if that is normal or not.

So, that's it. And, again, apologies if this is stupid.

I'll just briefly mention that there is also some level of danger that I feel should be at least acknowledged, if not delved into. That's all I'll say about that.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
