Comment, mention, questions, reaction...
Good morning,
I've noticed reading the post to these forums, where time and again it seems we expect and in some cases even look for "Comment, mention, question and reaction" from those we encounter while going about our business wearing a kilt, I'm no exception to this.
I wrapped a kilt a on for the first time less then a month ago, and as with so many things in life have found, the "fear, anticipation and expectation" of what people might do and or say was by far worse then any "Comment, mention, question and reaction" I have had so far. Thats not to say there has not been any negative attention (a few off color comments and shirt jokes) to my wearing a kilt, just far less then anticipated.
Myself this is due in part to wearing a kilt is new for me, and partly knowing how people act towards anyone and anything different. I also understand that where we live can play a large part in the attitudes of those we meet.
Do we reach a point, where we no longer expect negative reaction?
Has anybody come to bodily harm for wearing a kilt?
Does our acceptance of ourselves wearing the kilt, play a role in others acceptance of us wearing the kilt?
Have you been anywhere you have not been comfortable wearing a kilt.
Be well,
Anthony
