Comfort Level

[GG]

Hell-o all,

Just out of curiosity how long did it take you to get completely comfortable wearing the Kilt regularly?

For me it took about three days.

It took me about 30 seconds to realize that a kilt is a fantastic garment to wear. It took considerably more time to feel totally at ease when wearing it.
I had a feeling that everybody were looking at me and talking about me. When walking in a street and hearing laughter I thought it was over me.
Then I started to imagine that I was wearing a kilt when in fact I was in trousers. And I had precisely the same feeling. There were laughter and other kinds of suspicious noises. But it couldn’t be over my kilt – which I was not wearing.
Therefore I came to the conclusion that I had a problem when I was kilted. Other people hadn’t or just couldn’t care less.
And if they didn’t care, why should I?

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

I'm not the person who likes to be in the focus. So, I feel good in the kilt, but the question is more how I deal with crowd in general; kilted or not. As I'm getting older, I care less for others (who are not impotant to me). Even in the crowded mall, basically you're very much alone - everyone is alone with their thoughts and doing their business (more or less). Maybe shopping mall is not such a bad idea to start; no drunks, a lot of people to feel safe...

Good luck a lot of courage to all!
