As a dude, I feel way more uncomfortable in just a t-shirt and nothing else than I feel fully naked.
Put the shoes on

I think this can be explained by the mentality of completely naked means I’m not leaving the house, but naked with shoes means I intend to go somewhere.

And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.

As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma. Not even just bullying, a lot of the expectations schools put on kids are just developmentally unreasonable. It’s not random that so many people have school related nightmares decades after they’ve graduated.
I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.

if you show up naked to a school at almost 40 i think bad things will happen

I had the wildest dream where my entire class had to repeat senior year because Covid somehow invalidated our credits. Even though I graduated in 2019…

I think it’s because of the steps removed you are from becoming non-naked. With no shoes, you’re simply an underwear away from being non-naked. But with shoes on, you must bend over, remove your shoes, remove your socks, and only then are you free to install underwear on your naked dingaling. Now imagine if your landlord unexpectedly knocks at the door, and you were naked with no shoes versus with shoes. In the first case, you’d be non-naked in a matter of seconds. Whereas, in the second case, you’d be non-naked in about 15 seconds. Not to mention, you’d be in a very compromising position during those 15 seconds, as you’d be bent over in a strange position fiddling with your shoes over your own naked body. Never discount your brain’s ability to plan ahead. And don’t think this all isn’t taken into account when considering how naked you feel with or without shoes. This, I believe, is one of the primary reasons. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a blessed day, and fare thee well!

Just toss on a dress and go commando. No need to remove the shoes.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
It works with socks too
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Yeah - try it

Reminds me of what an EMT once told me. She mentioned that every EMT inevitably learns two very important questions to ask whenever you encounter someone who is naked in public:
- Do you know you’re naked?
- Do you want to be naked?
Those two questions will shed a lot of light on the current situation, and will let you gauge how the next 15 minutes is going to go.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
That makes perfect sense actually. It’s an effective way of asking “are you aware of what’s going on” and “are you intentionally acting in a way that’s socially frowned upon and may be illegal”.

I remember getting an episode/panic attack/whatever that was. For solid 5-10 minutes, I felt like boiling from the inside and sweat started to drip from my forehead. I stripped naked and felt more comfortable that way till it passed. Thankfully I was alone, so no awkward experience.

I see this in some character costume designs that show some (not all) skin. Once in a while, they’re barefoot, and the effect is just a free spirit vibe. But, if they have very bare legs, a big thick pair of sneakers or boots draws attention to the legs, making them look more exposed.
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 16 hours ago
Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.

Do you still feel a phantom hand in your head?
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 13 hours ago
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.

For the opposite effect, walk into a room with other naked people and an air temperature above 70°C. Suddenly it’ll be totally fine.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Nobody’s fine at 70°C…
python@lemmy.world 1 minute ago
Right, it oughta be at least 90°C to be nice and comfy

Then, just step over a motorcycle and if even that isn’t enough just drive to a highway and speed up to +100 kmh, then you’ll feel naked

Even more true if you’re one of many who remove shoes in the house. Shoes are an outside thing only and if they’re the only thing you have on, something has gone tricky terribly awry.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.
I think that was a Gallagher bit?

The difference between naked and nude is that nude just means you aren’t wearing clothes, but naked implies that there’s a plan involved.

With socks. Otherwise, you’re focused on the weird feeling of wearing shoes without socks.
