I'm not a circus animal!

If there is is one thing that will put me into self concious overdrive it's being stared at. Unless of course it's a cute man checkin out my caboose😎 But other then that It makes me feel like a circus animal! My mind goes into overdrive with "Is she staring at my braces?" "Why is she staring?" "Do my legs look that bad?!" I have always said "I am an open book and if you've got a question... Ask!" But don't just stand there and gawk at my legs! Yes I am sure not all Spina Bifida patients are as open to answering questions as I am... But that doesn't mean they want to be stared at! I also can't stand when someone points at me and is whispering to someone else! I'm mean if you've got something to say... At least have the guts to say it to my face! I had both incidents happen the other day and when I got home I couldn't even bring myself to go on a walk around my own neighborhood for my normal walk because it made me feel so self conscious! I also sat in my room and cried for a good bit! I guess my point is just because someone looks or acts different doesn't mean that you have the right to stare at them! They have feelings and emotions just like everyone else and I'm sure you don't like to be stared at! So use your manners your momma taught you and don't stare!
