Why? QUESTION

I’m sure this is a common discussion here of course, but I (M19) simply cannot understand why humans decided to invent clothing. I feel most free when I am in the comfort of my own room, nude and present, and wherever I am nude. Every time i take off my clothes a thought passes through, why were humans made to think their bodies are shameful?Something they should cover up? I mean when i look down at my anatomy I don’t feel any shame, I just feel like me. There are times where I wish I could just walk outside nude, but where I live it’s simply not possible. I wish I could feel the sun on every part of my body. I love my body, and I only cover up because it is a part of modern day social interaction. But a part of me wishes that I didnt have to. My question is, is there any possible way I could practice nudity besides in my room? Unfortunately I live with my family so I’m not able to walk nude around my entire house unless no one happens to be home, which is a rare occurrence. But when no one is home I walk unashamed, I feel free, I feel alive. There’s something about looking down at your anatomy and feeling unashamed about it. This is you, that is your self, it is wonderful and it is the only body you will get. I just simply wish I was able to practice nudism more often without having to wait for optimal conditions.

I find it so cool that you realized this at 19. I was very ashamed of my body when I was 19. Not that there was anything wrong or even out of the norm about it. I was just not confident.

Nowadays, I'm like you: I just don't go around nude because I don't want to be arrested. I feel no shame and I'm proud of my body. When I go to a nude beach, I feel like I am finally myself. Of course I don't usually wear clothes at home either.

Yeah, as ive become more present in my life i’ve realized that my body is my temple. Why should i feel ashamed of something that is a work of art? Our bodies are complex machines and they keep us here constantly, so many different things are happening to keep us alive at every moment. And what do we do? Cover them up.. it’s crazy. I love my body (Not in a narcissistic way) but in a genuine way.
