I don't have a problem with people noticing me. My whole life I've resembled a vampire. I have dark, full lips, pale skin, and dark hair. People notice. I've had people ask me if I'm ill, if I have a disorder, but I've also gotten lovely compliments.

Most people are well-intentioned. They make up about 99.5% and are saying whatever they have to say because they are curious or concerned. Well-intentioned people should be treated with kindness and respectfully educated. "No, I'm healthy and love my food. I just have hollow legs and love to cycle! But thank you for your concern!"

The other .5%? They're just jealous because you have something they'd kill a kitten to have. I just laugh at them.
