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 the guy you're meeting going in the other direction, with an InReach device clipped to my shoulder strap on the same easy frontcountry trail. Do what works for you, and enjoy the outdoors.

Now, if you were the one blasting a bluetooth speaker and throwing beer cans in the bushes, I admit I would be sorely tempted to judge you...
