Someone please gently encourage me to go outside today again.
The temptation... to spend the whole day working in my PJs... is strong...
@seaw Go outside for a bit. Fresh air and natural lught are good for you, and feel nice. :)
@Anke Thank you! You are right, it's just... so hard to look for clothes and face other human beings and all that.
@seaw yyyeah, I know the feeling. Sometimes I just put on sweatpants and equivalent top and walk around the block or in a park I'm lucky enough to have nearby.
@Anke Yeah, I got to the park "next door" a lot too. If anything, at least the colder weather will allow me to wear sweatpants and the likes again. I like warmer weather better but my wardrobe isn't very well adapted to it.
@seaw I had in mind learning how to turn two cheap T-shirts into a dress for very casual summer wear, but now the summer is over. Maybe next year.
@Anke Oh, I think I saw a tutorial for that some time ago, maybe last year. I've never felt comfortable wearing dresses... But it can be nice to hangout at home if it's long and ample enough!
@seaw I stopped wearing skirts and dresses in primary school because I got sick of boys lifting them to annoy me, so I'm not sure I'd be comfortable enough to wear them to work, but, yeah, for at home when the weather's hot, might be nice.
@Anke Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you went through this, that sucks immensely. I totally understand your reluctance after that... It is difficult for me to wear skirts and dresses outside as well, because of the gender thing but also because it makes me feel immediately more exposed and vulnerable. I don't remember being bullied that way though.
