If you saw a young person walking round with a neck brace, would you think they are weird?

I have to wear a neck brace after an injury, I didn't want to wear it in public so I've been taking it off when I go out and only wearing it at home. I'm not a particularly vain person even, but this neck brace looks weird, old persony, and ugly, it's so embarrassing.
What would you seriously think if you saw somebody young walking around with one? I'm 25 but nobody I meet thinks I'm older than 21.

I think I would be concerned about the person and wonder how they got into that situation. I wouldn't think anything negative. I am sure u are a beautiful girl (even if u do look a bit young) people always think im young too! but beside that im sure you won't be wearing it forever (at least I hope not!) and if someone finds u attractive they will look past something like a neck brace. would u not talk to somebody because they had an arm cast, or no leg? there are definitely some shallow people out there but the honest truth is that if someone is judging you just because of the brace they aren't worth your time anyway!

I would just think they had an injury, which, you do. People are probably going to ask what happened a lot, but, whatever. It's not a big deal.

No? When you get into an accident or have an injury on your neck, you kinda sorta have to wear a brace in order to heal up. You act like neck braces haven't even been invented yet and you're the first to wear one? lol

Nah, not at all, i would be wondering how did you injure yourself.

No, I would think something happened to that person actually. People do stare, that's natural, don't pay attention to it :)

no I wouldn't judge at all. in fact I would probably introduce myself and have conversation.

Not weird at all. My gf and I did a 69 for 12 straight hours and we both wear one now.

I would think, 'injury', like most normal people.
