Try not to let it bother you too much. We all deal with people's (mis)perceptions to some extent. I deal with the other end of the spectrum. I'm 63 yrs old, 6'2" and 210 pounds. But I have A LOT of trouble with arthritis; balance to the point of needing a walker at times and no stamina. I can't grip and carry like most people. So when I do pickups, I either work alone so I can go at my own speed or I stand around and "supervise". I've gotten my share of snide comments. The young guy I'm working with now understands knows "labor" is his department.
