I wear my kilts at home and am perfectly comfortable (and was literally from the second I put my first one on). However, I'm still not completely comfortable in public (and I've worn them in public - pretty much full time - since last April or so).

The problem is that people feel the need to comment on my kilt. For good or bad. And I generally don't like most people too much (not really agoraphobic, but I do have tendencies that direction). So, it's been a bit of a trial for me to grit my teeth and accept that people are going to start a conversation with me. And I refuse to allow myself to get grouchy with them (it's not really their fault I'm wearing a conversation starter, and, since kilted men are not very common in the U.S., I'm conscious that I'm representing the lot of us, at least to them).

So, I do my dead level best to be nice and polite. But I do wish more folks would just treat me like I was wearing p__ts.

But, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it.
