On monday I was running late for work so went into the Cafe at on the ground floor of the building where I work to buy breakfast ... It was my first time going in there with my wig (I've only had it less than a month) and the girl behind the counter started saying she liked my new style and then in front of a whole Cafe said it looks like a wig! I was mortified and wanted the ground to swallow me up. Least she complimented the colour?<br />

When I got my wig the really kind wig lady suggested about naming my wig so decided to call mine wanda. Was talking to a work colleague the day after got my new hair and mentioned that I'd called it wanda and she went off saying shouldn't do that as it was like a guy naming his you know what. I mean who says that to someone who is just making that's transition!! Went home and cried that night! Thank goodness I have a wonderful fiance and family!

<p>I have to say, sometimes when I read posts like this I am just thankful that I've never heard anything negative. I don't know if its because of who I chose to share this information with or what. I have only told a handful of people and they have been nothing but supportive. I haven't had anyone call me out on my wig either. I guess I've just been one of the lucky ones. I'm not sure what I would do if someone made a negative comment. Punch them in the face? Ha.</p>

<p>I haven't heard anything bad from the world at large, but as I head into my first summer without hair and was trying to explain to my mother how I wasn't likely to want to wear a wig or a hat inside on a hot day, her comment was, "They must make summer wigs." It was just a small piece of ignorance, but it felt like a judgement on my deciding to ever go bald or my shortcomings because I don't find wigs that comfortable.</p>

<p>Is that your hair?</p>
<p>Funny how wigs tend to look your hair when you wear them a while (someone says this to you before you even have a chance for a real greeting)</p>
<p>Where do you buy your wigs? (someone you don't know who has never talked to you before--they just started work that day? uggh!)</p>
<p>Other's looking at your hairline instead of looking in your eyes</p>
<p>My family tells me that others mean well, sometimes, you know when the person is trying to make a negative comment…</p>

<p>Does it bother anyone else when someone comments on how much you have "changed" or how different you look? I just cringe when I hear that....I know it's not intended to be an insult - and the reason it bothers me is absolutely my image issues...just didn't know if those phrases struck a nerve with anyone else? </p>
