Shirtless Lifestyle

I would really appreciate some input or info regarding the matter below

I have always been shy, especially regarding going shirtless. Whenever at home, beach or pool, removing my shirt was never an option. I cannot explain why but I never had it in me although in my mind, I always wanted to.

I chatted to many kind and understanding people here who not only provided tips but lots of guidance on how to approach this and overcome it, although it is something I'm working on slowly.

Maybe it wasn't a very very common thing in my household but my dad on occasion did go shirtless when watching TV or sleeping. I always felt the urge to do so but never did.

I thought maybe it's my body type or age

I came across these pics and it made me realize alot of things.

Age isn't an issue, size and skin colour don't matter and all these pics show that the lifestyle is so important

I'm jus curious to ask how many are in a similar position

Was permission required to be shirtless around the house
Was age an issue
Was it ok around parents without any issues
Did anyone's dad motivate this

Kind regards

I was also shy about going shirtless as a child but for exactly the opposite reason--I was absurdly skinny! Eventually became proud of it in my 20s and have been a shirtless devotee ever since. Consider it "appropriate" wherever I can get away with it. As far as my forebears go, my papa and my brother were as fat as some of the models in your pics and I found them revolting. Luckily they didn't commonly go shirtless at home.

At least you overcame it and made part of your routine 🙌
