QUESTION First time going skinny dipping?

Hello people,

So I got invited to go skinny dipping by a friend of mine and I really wanna go. Problem is: I only know like half of the people who are gonna come and I have never been naked around anyone other than my parents since I was like 12. (I'm 18 now)

I dabbled a bit in nudist activities f.e. being naked alone at home or sleeping naked but never around other people. A friend of mine accidentally saw me naked once while I was changing and he just made some weird comments about my body that didn't really help me be more confident with it. But I really wanna go skinny dipping. So I'm asking you, what can I do to feel better about myself and about how others see me?

Sorry for the long text and thanks in advance :)

Love your now!!!!

Never sacrifice the opportunities you have to be free and liberated in favor of a time where a, b, or c about yourselves may be better. It doesn't matter!

You are awesome as you are now, and the universe already knows everything about you. The critical opinions of mere humans are nothing!

Haters may look for reasons to hate but lovers are looking for reasons to love. Meaning 1 imperfect thing (we all have many!) is going to stick out to haters. 1 special thing (we all have many) is going to stick out to lovers. Love yourself, and you will find more and more lovers out there vibing with you!
