Fear of being stared at: How do you cope with it?

There was a time when I didn't mind the staring.
It happens - you catch people offguard when they're zoning out or something...

My stepdad had one arm and everyone stared at him all the time.
I'd ask him if it made him mad but he said that in time; you get used to it.
People are curious, mostly.

I don't know why I can't get that into my head though...
I wish I could just write off the stares but it makes me so nervous - makes me feel physically ill - makes me wish I could disappear or shrink away.
