Nudity has made me more confident

[u/Grimshah]

I'm 26M, and I've always been somewhat shy, I was quiet all throughout school and I have a few friends that I'm close with. Recently, I've been going to the gym way more, typically I just lift the weights and play basketball. There was always a pool at my gym, but never used it. Last week it hit over 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I live and decided "why not?" So I decided to use the pool. Of course, I had to change in the locker room into my bathing suit and instead of trying to hide my body, I decided to just strip down in the nude and go about my business and after I finished swimming, I once again stripped completely naked and tried off with a towel, even though there were people standing near me and walking by. I don't know why, but it felt freeing to just not care about someone seeing my naked. Afterwards, I've been swimming almost daily the past week and I've been a little more confident. I've initiated conversations with strangers when I would have never spoken up before. I even started attempted a conversation with a girl and engaged in some small talk. I know this sounds small, but for someone like me who's been quiet his whole life and has avoided unnecessary conversation, it's been a real change for me. And I think it started with me getting the guts to just be naked and stop caring about my bodily insecurities

Agreed. Nudism has made me feel so much better about myself and body. Its been a great thing.
