What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do? (sopuli.xyz)

To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

Pretty much that last paragraph of yours.

I don't care if people see me as childish, weird, or even dumb. I do lots of things that make me seem all of those things.

But that makes me hesitate for some reason.

I did open up about it to some friends I was sure wouldn't judge, and it helped a lot.

May i ask what kind of clothes you mean?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (8 children)

Skirts, dresses, thigh highs, crop tops, and just generally the womens section of the clothing store. So many items there that are a lot more interesting than what the mens section has to offer.

Never thought of that before, but you're right. Way bigger variety of stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right? Women have like twenty different types of tops in all the shapes and cuts imaginable

And colours! So many colours.

The material's always nicer too.

Seriously, if I wear one more sandpaper hoodie, I'm gonna cry
