do you judge other hikers? (sh.itjust.works)

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

I'm not a big hiker man but when I've gone I'd probably not notice and at most think "oh well they're well prepared".

Gotta realise that the people that would judge you are not people whose opinion you should care about
