"appearing" to resemble a child is a trigger for me, it seems....... ugh....
sometimes I think I'm from another planet, as I struggle to understand what others regard as so simple/straight forward. 
then I think people get mad at me...or I offend them... which is never ever my intention  (how can fins be so stupid? people aren't that stupid  )
like I told T. -- "I think I was raised by wolves" so so many ordinary things I missed learning/understanding as a kid/teen.
When one is in a constant state of just coping-- that is what one focuses on--coping from day to day-- not whether they like hair or no hair......
thanks again for your answer...... this was really bothering me....
Now-- not so much.  phew... feels better.... *sigh*....
and thank you all that replied too-- I appreciate all views and have a better understanding.

stupid? other planet? no I just thought you were from a background where sex and the body topics were taboo, like in my background, those things just were not talked about in my family or others in my neighborhood. everyone around me knew people had sex and sometimes who got caught with who, who was cheating on who and in my case who "ruined" (mountain talk for my being sexually abused) me, and how I was "ruined" but our own bodys and sex in relation to ourselves just wasnt talked about. I found out about sex and my body topics from my therapist and planned parenthood programs.
Im glad you are feeling better and I was able to help with that
