I went to Sunny Rest today and did several activities, including participating in a trivial contest.
All 7 contestants and most of the people in the audience were nude.
Near the end of the contest, I started to feel conspicuous being nude in front of a large group of people.
Has anyone else experienced this type of thing?

    Its quite a common feeling for people experiencing social (beach/resort) nudism for the first time. It fades quickly.

    Its unusual for seasoned nudists, if fact Ive never heard nudist mention it outwith telling of their first time.

    Its strange that you experienced it, given the fact that you wear a micro thong in public without any feelings of being conspicuous.

    was it the nudism for sure. what I mean is I have no issue being nude in front of any amount of people I also love talking but I noted with myself recently that once the number in the group gets more than say 8 people I get more introvert (I also get the same clothed) I think this is more down that sometimes a bigger group the conversation gets harder to hear or keep on top off.
    Fact for me is although I have slept naked most my life I tend not to walk around the house nude then I do feel a little silly, I'm def more a social nudist

I was continuously nude for 7 hours at the resort yesterday, including a charity race with about 200 participants. Being in front of a crowd looking my way just felt different.

    I am mainly an introvert, to the point that one time before a big presentation to an Air Force Colonel and his staff I woke up the night before from the cliche nightmare that I was halfway through the presentation and realized I was naked. Fast forward to the 2017 Bare Necessities nude cruise and I entered the mixology contest on our second sea day. This was 5 years and 3 nude cruises into my naturist journey. Of the 4 contestants I was the only one nude in front of a pool deck crowd of at least 100. I had a great time and it cured me of my fear of being in front of others. Having actually been nude on stage, that nightmare is now powerless against me. Tomorrow I am presenting to a Major General and his staff, so we will see if that nightmare tries to resurface.
