Excellent responses!
I work as a carpenter so I come home sweaty and take a shower first thing. I live alone and had slept naked since high school because its more comfortable so after some thought I couldnt come up with a good reason to wear clothes after my shower. After I was completely comfortable with doing things naked to the point that I forgot I was even naked, I started to not want to leave the house because I just didnt want to get dressed. Even before I knew that social non sexual nudity was a thing I always had an interest in being naked for some reason. I was not abused as a child in any way, if anything I was raised to never be naked with other people and I rarely if ever saw either of my parents naked. If anything I think I was always looking for acceptance because arent we ALL a little insecure when we are growing up? In my own personal life experience it seems like social nudity would be positive for everyone, it should be encouraged and it should be normalized.
