I Larp

So, it's funny, like I'm totally comfortable with my friends knowing that I larp, and even random strangers on the internet. But for some reason, I just can't seem to tell my family. It's not some big dark secret, or anything, it's just I know some of them would judge me a little bit for it, and that terrifies me. Frankly, I'm surprised I've been able to keep it a secret for nearly five years.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? Or how have you dealt with that sense of dread of people you don't want to find out finding out?

You enjoy the outdoors. You study fighting arts. You have a wide network of friends. You design (larping) fashion. You obviously have a sense of humor.

Is this really what needs to be hidden from family? I think you’re good.

@FloridaGuy Yeah, you're probably right. They probably wouldn't even actually judge me. I mean, I have learned a lot of useful skills thanks to this hobby. No sense in hiding progress.
