People don’t want to come near you or even chat to you when you are wearing that respirator mask.

Well from my point of view I guess it’s the little information they get about TB in general and specifically where and when it is safe or not to come near a person who has TB...>I’m just saying though

So, sometimes I just prefer not to wear it – at least then I’ll feel like I belong, but I am worried that I might spread it.

In big hospitals you will be left alone in a room and you will not be allowed to chat with your fellow patients. You are not even allowed to watch television. >I HATE THEM FOR THAT
