everyone has an opinion

Hi all, I must be weird, but I was never offended by people's comments. Yes, it did annoy me at times when I would get the "chin up, be positive" talk, because of course I was being positive, and how dare someone feel they need to remind me of that. My Dad always says, " you are looking well, how do you feel?" I can forgive him for that, because even though I'm 53 I am still his little girl, and he wants to know that I am ok. I would prefer to be asked silly questions than have nothing mentioned, and then wonder if people actually cared. When people asked about my hair, I'd often take off my wig and show them. That would usually stop more probing. People can be insensitive, but it is probably ignorance, and the need for them to feel like they are helping somehow. I had many more positive responses from people than negative, so I think I was lucky. All the best, love Chris xx
