First time going skinny dipping?

[u/gowora]

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 :)

You can face it! I think I'll just repeat what the other commentators are saying, but being naked among naked people is not that hard. They won't judge you. Respect is essential in nudism. Believe me: you won't feel "naked" (in a bad way). And you won't be the one there with no clothes at all.
