Josh, I agree with what Mr Scamptoo has advised. I think your parents will be fine about it, and you’ll feel good about going ahead.

Hugs,

Hi Josh, I'm Liam, the group admin.

Thanks for wanting to share your concerns. I'm glad you felt comfortable sharing your thoughts. First of all, you're not weird for feeling this way! Many people feel uncomfortable or nervous asking their parents certain questions, especially when it comes to personal topics like this. And you're absolutely right: it's totally normal to feel embarrassed about being naked around family members. Many people feel this way, even as they get older.

Regarding your question about being naked at home, it's important to keep in mind that every family has different rules and boundaries regarding privacy and comfort. Since you're not sure how your parents might react, the best way to approach this is honestly. Perhaps you can start by talking to them in a casual way that you feel comfortable with. You could say something like, "Hey, with it being so hot, I've been thinking I'd feel more comfortable spending time at home without clothes on. What do you think?" This gives them a chance to share their thoughts and opens up a conversation without feeling too intense or awkward.

Feeling embarrassed in front of your parents is very common. Even if you want to be naked, it can be awkward at first, especially if you're used to wearing clothes around them. Over time, it may become more natural, but it's okay to take it slow and discover what feels most comfortable to you.

If you ever feel unsure or uncomfortable in a situation, it's okay to stop and think about how you feel. Your feelings matter, and it's good to make sure you act in a way that respects both your personal comfort and the boundaries of the people you live with.

Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to come back if you want to talk more or ask anything else! When you talk to your parents, you could let them know so we can see how it went.

Thank you Liam (and everyone else) for the encouragement and kind words. I've been thinking it over the last few days and I think I'll ask my parents soon. I'll let you all know what they say.
