You're One Of Them

I was at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago when a woman came up to me and asked how my chemo treatments were going. I was wearing a ball cap. When I looked at her, I saw that she was wearing a bandana and must have been going through chemo herself.

When I explained that I suffered from Alopecia Universalis, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "Oh, you're one of them," and walked away.

Now, I have been mistaken for having cancer and going through chemo many times, but it has always been by someone who was not going through it. In this case, I felt like I was being accused of being a poser.

I was not sure how to take that and it has bothered me ever since.

with Alopecia we have to let go many comments and learn to be happy what we are and what we have. 
This is the only way we can live peacefully. responding to each comments and some times actions is hard and will bring negativity in ourselves. 
Try wim hof breathing practice, it improves oxygen supply to brain and bring positivity in our thoughts. 
Live happily
