(((((((((((Griffe))))))))))) You aren't overreacting, it takes a long time to get used to having a wheelchair, and a long time to get used to people around us - how they act, what they say, how they treat us.

Some adults are a little bit scared of the wheelchair... with the aging population and that being older (a senior) means more of them will wind up in wheelchairs eventually... they seem to ask questions because they are scared.

Some adults are just plain weird... the amount of people saying that they are "praying for me" to get better scares me... but the older people 60+ are pretty nice, they normally just ask what a nice girl like me is doing in a wheelchair. They understand more about what being different/disabled is all about since they're kinda at that point.
