I kinda wanted to discuss my various relationships with nudity?

(This is copied from something I wrote several months ago) on the most basic level it’s a comfort thing. I’m intensely claustrophobic and have very sensitive skin so the feel of clothing can overwhelm me and the constriction it applies, as negligible as it probably is for most people, causes anxiety to me. assuming it’s not like freezing out I’m most comfortable, in both a physical and mental sense, when uncovered. I can actually get panic attacks from wearing clothes!so because it's almost a necessity for me or at least something that really affects my life, I've come to actively put energy into embracing it. I love it because it's something beautiful that helps me <3there’s also a spiritual part of it. I feel so much more connected with everything and everyone around me when I’m naked. With people there’s the level of intimacy that nudity can imply too but this feels like more than that; in addition to the vulnerability it opens up I just feel like there’s less holding me back. And with the things around me, this is why I’m so into being naked in nature. My spirituality is really ill-defined but most of it is experiencing and being part of the beauty of various parts of nature and this offers such a direct connection that it’s honestly kind of a requirement for me there. Plus it also feels really good to be naked outside in a light breeze :Lit also helps me make sure I continue to feel real. being naked, having pictures taken of me that way, letting people see me that way, and so on, helps sort of reassure me in the reality of my existence. while overall my general shift towards getting photographed more has helped a bit, to be honest when I’m covered up I still have issues with dissociatingfinally there’s just the fact that I think the human body is intensely beautiful and I love everyone’s so much. I think also just as I feel more real to myself when not covered up other people are more real to me when naked, too? I dunno that’s harder to figure outthis is probably the least but might as well include that I feel so much better about my appearance now than I ever have in my life and so I really appreciate any opportunity to sort of revel in my own appearance I guess?
