It does hurt when people that are close to us say well you look fine. Its the people I don't know that irritate me lol. I had 1 woman when I got one of thos motor scooters at Walmart tell me she wanted it because she couldn't walk (I had just watched her jog across the parking lot) and I would be fine after all I had a cane that I probably didn't even need. I said really? Then you might be interested in the fact that if you can't walk and I saw you jog ac4oss the parking lot and so did the cameras you can get in major trouble for impersonating a disabled person under the ADA? She said whats that lol. I got my scooter that day lol. Im not going to say don't let them get to you because they get to me. I am going to say keep smiling and be of good heart.
