I have a genetic spinal deformity that makes it hard for me to stand with good posture. Due to my mother always complaining about my posture I became very self conscious of it. So I would try to straighten up in public situations. It is hard to explain but it changed my perspective and sometimes I would look at people while forcing my spine to be straight. People who did not know about my condition didn't know what I was doing and assumed I was doing it to offend them. This continued for some time and built up. Now, it seems whenever I leave the house I get a vibe of suspicion and derision from nearly everyone I see. It seems like they view all my actions through the lens of distrust. It wears me out mentally to try to prove that I am not trying to look at anyone. Does anyone have experience with dealing with constant distrust on the part of society?
