That's so weird. How can you be naked in front of strangers?
By not wearing any cloths.
By not caring stupid things like that. Being naked is completely natural but somehow humans developed this thought that being naked is sinful or something
If your culture has taught you to "hide your shame", you probably can't.
If your culture has taught you that being nude is nothing to be ashamed of, it's as simple as breathing.
I was raised by the latter one and I cannot understand the first at all.
As the Irish comedian Dave Allen, talking about Adam and Eve, once said: "That's what happens when you eat apples."
Everyone's seen it, everyone's done it, what's to hide?
some people pack some really weird shit. not me mind you.
Sure, but why do they have to come out like that on Lemmy?
Wouldn't it be even more weird to be the only one wearing clothes?
Everyone has seen naked people before.
Sorry for the downvotes. To be able to be naked in front of strangers you need to be able to appreciate yourself, your body and your sexuality and you must be able to give yourself a feeling of security. If any of these points are lacking โ as with most people โ clothing will help you to compensate this lack.
Weird and counterintuitive as it might be, being naked not in front of, but together with strangers is a good way to bolster self-esteem. It can be very wholesome to experience firsthand that your body is 100 % avarage and are not body shamed despite of nudity.
What a strange question
