These are real thoughts and situations I faced before concluding I’m a nudist.

  • When the weather is comfortable, you’d rather be nude outside than clothed
  • You have a dislike for winter because it’s too cold to be nude
  • You get a new roommate or join a dorm, and your first thought is “Darn, guess I can’t be nude anymore”
  • When the weather is comfortable, you usually only get clothed to be in public
  • You ask a friend if they would be nude all day if they lived alone. You find out they wouldn’t. You answered the opposite.
  • You forget if you’re even wearing clothes, until you feel a breeze, or grab your waist
  • You dream about being nude in public, but instead of being scared or anxious, you’re indifferent or proud or happy
  • You dream you are slowly losing clothing, and while you’re focused on finding them, you give up and just accept that you’re nude, or just don’t care
  • You are curious about (or even interested participating in) communal nudity

    I’m not a nudist (though I do prefer to be shirtless) but there’s one item on your list I don’t get:

    Why is forgetting you have clothes on be part of a pro-nudism mindset? Feeling my shirt is the exact reason I don’t want to wear it

      It doesn’t have to be. It’s just getting so comfortable without clothes that it’s not noticeable whether or not you are wearing them (indoors while not moving) until you feel a breeze hit or start moving around.

        Interesting…I prefer to be either completely shirtless wearing multiple layers. I hate wearing just a shirt for some reason
