So this is probably my insecurities showing but I have an invisible disability that affects my walking and stamina. Also my body doesn't regulate my temperature very well. I tell you all this bc when I go even on a small trail, I have a sun hat and a hydration backpack and hiking poles. If you were to see someone on the trail like that, would you think they are a try hard? Or not think about me at all? It won't stop me but I do wonder sometimes.

edit: Thanks y'all I'm feeling better. Sometimes I'm in my own head too much for sure

No judging from me - I live in Norcal and we have all sorts of characters on the trail here!
