Uncomfortable with people

[fallman]

So I know many of you have been naked with others. I want to be but I guess I'm not confident being all exposed like that and letting other people see me hanging out like that. Were you nervous the first time? What made it do able? Anything you did that helped you be confident in your skin with others?

I'm just self conscious about the whole thing.

If it has to do with sex it doesn't always have something to do with sexuality. The two terms are not interchangeable :P

i've been naked with other guys hundreds of times - showers at school
also been naked in the showers in my dad's gym
it was never really a problem for me but my advice is to just do it
you feel awkward for abotu 2 minutes and then you really realize you were worried about nothing

Being naked infront of other people is really hard for some people, especially when you were young and told to "cover it up", so it is imprinted in your brain that nudity is not natural.

Most boys learn to be comfortable being naked infront of each other through getting changed for swimming or showering after gym. But if you have never done that either, then it could be a real problem for you.

The only way to get used to it, is by doing it. YES, you will be uncomfortable for a short time, but once you get used to it, then it is never a biggy.

That's what I've found. And because of it i would always find a privet place to change. And I don't go to school since im homeschooled and don't play normal sports so I don't even havr a chance like that.

Me and my friends are naked a lot together, i don't really mind it anymore. It was kind of akward at first but most of them have seen me naked a million times now so its not a problem.

Yeah like most people have said, the only way to get used to it is by doing it. So maybe try going down to your local pool or gym and changing there, start off going when it's not busy so there's less people around, and work your way upto busier times changing there. After awhile you'll think nothing of it.
