chronicles of a closet nude

[mistermocha]

well i was in canberra for christmas and new years and i suppose it isnt the m ost \"happening\" place.  especially since all my friends had left to the coast.  Anyway i was very bored one sunny day, and dare i say it, got sick of my \"desparate housewives\" movie marathon.  So i decided to go to the local nudie pools.  I was walking around rather enjoying myself when i got a phone message from my sister askig me to call her imediately.  i really panniced cause i guess i am a closet nude.  i had to call her and lie about where i was and i hated that because i wasnt ashamed but i just dont think it would be something she would accept.  i mean she wouldnt care but she would get weird i guess.

i dont like being a closet cause i guess i feel like im not doing any favours to naturists or nudists by hiding from the truth.  but at the time it was easier for me to tell her i was out at coffee or something.  does anyone else know the feeling?

I know exactly that feeling because i had to do that to my mom once when she called me while i was at a nudist resort. I couldn\'t think of where i could tell her i was so it wasn\'t a good lie and she knew something was up but she didn\'t know what and kept trying to find out where i was. I felt bad having to lie but she doesn\'t approve of nudism, so i didn\'t want to get the third degree. If it was anyone else I would probably have told the truth.

I don\'t know the feeling itself but I do understand it.
I can understand that you\'re scared of telling that you\'re at a nude resort cuz you don\'t know how you\'re sister will react.
Maybe you should talk to her about it so you don\'t have to lie next time and you won\'t feel bad anymore.

I know exactly how you feel, although I\'m just really getting into nudism at the moment I really don\'t know what I\'d say if I was asked about it and I know I\'d lie as well. I guess I just gets easier in time - hopefully

Know the feeling.  Being that our families and friends know that we (tophatfrog and myself)  like to go camping, they don\'t put much thought into it when we say we are going camping for the weekend.  Tophatfrog and myself were in FL when we got engaged and were staying at Sunsport Gardens.  Little did our families know, when we called them to tell them the news, we were sitting in the buff in FL.  And when asked where we stayed, we said some KOA campground.  It\'s hard to not say anything since that is the type of camping we do for the most part nowadays.  With time though, they will learn of our newly adopted lifestyle.

I can totally relate to the story. I am a closet nudist myself, haven\'t told my family yet and have only recently started telling some of my friends whom I know are open-minded and might be okay with it. It\'s not a matter of being ashamed of being a nudist as much as it is a matter of how the ones close to us would react to it. I know my family would for sure take it the wrong way, and I\'d never want them to think less of me. In a perfect world they would accept my choice of lifestyle but practically I know such a confession can have damaging consequences, probably ones that would go on for a while. So what\'s the point? At the time being, whether they know about it or not won\'t have that great effect on my life, so I guess it can wait.
