Hello again.
So my first question to the forum (probably of many
) is about a few articles I read where I realized I'm supposed to display a few qualities in the Attraction phase, and one of them was health.I have juvenile onset diabetes since I was like 4 years old. I'm 16 now so it's about 12 years...anyways, I always used injections, so it wasn't really a problem with girls, they never saw me doing it.
Although a month and a half ago I stopped using injections and started using a pump. As much as it relates to "displaying health", that means there's a small, phone-sized machine connected to my body permanently, which I need to use pretty much every time I eat. I also have to run a lot more sugar tests ("stab" myself in some way), because it's quite risky to use, especially when beginning.
Anyways, I'm trying to be all positive and happy about this, yet people, including (and mostly) girls, tend to be like "ohhhhh I feel so sorry for you" and so on when they see it. There's a (girl) friend of mine who kept asking if everything's okay for over a month. Even some of my male friends treated me like a walking medical issue until they got used to it.
I mean, really, my Krav-Maga coach asks me if everything's fine way too much lately.
*THE ISSUE IS HERE FOR ANYONE WHO SKIPPED THE UNIMPORTANT PARTS*
Anyways, considering it's not just a limiting belief but more of a problem according to the previous paragraph, how can I convince others, either by body-language or actual conversations that I'm okay with it and shouldn't be taken care of?
I mean I don't want to keep hiding it when I eat, not like I hold it in front of their faces to show off (I know it's really a wrong thing to do), but sometimes I have to use it.
Thanks in advance, and by the way, sorry if it's the wrong section, I guessed it wasn't enough in-depth to go into "Mid-game".
And next time it'd be shorter.
