Forever Hiding November 15, 2002 - 8:16 p.m.

I have this odd fear of nudity.

Seriously.

Even when no one is around, I try to keep myself covered while changing clothes. When taking a shower, I don't take my shirt off until I'm actually stepping behind the curtain. I can't comfortably take a bath unless it's a bubble bath so that there are tons of tiny iridescent bubbles to hide under. And the washcloth is always strategically placed to cover any visible parts.

I suppose I could chalk it up to modesty. But then that doesn't make much sense when I'm like this by myself.

It's also the same with other people. When there's a naked person on TV, I instinctively look away. Just briefly, because I realize it's stupid. But I still have that immediate thought of 'Oh, I shouldn't be seeing this person without clothes on'. And I remain somewhat uncomfortable the entire time they're nude. But that doesn't stop me from looking. *wink wink*

So anyhow... I'm thinking of moving to a nudist colony.

The best way to get over a fear is to face it head on. A nudist colony would cause my fears to be right in my face. Literally.

But then again, my psyche could react badly and I'd be totally traumatized by the whole event.

Back to stage one. New plan...

BTW - New word. 'Chalk'. I've used this word several times, so it's not really a new word… but the spelling is new. I thought that spelling was strictly for a noun. Thanks again, Darth. :)
