I use to feel the same way about my oxygen, I felt like every where I went people were starring at me. At one point I only went out of the house to go to the doctor. I barely went around family and friends. I starting praying and excepting the fact that oxygen was my best friend. I am much better today and I'm learning more and more that I'm not the only one with oxygen. I just saw a young lady with oxygen and I asked her age and how long had she been on oxygen. She is 16 years old and have been on oxygen since she was 7 years old. She is my motivation. Hope this helps
