is introversion a problem?

One of the greatest benifits of nudism is body acceptance. The more you're around other nudist the more you see that we all come in different shapes and size that are pretty much accepted in the naturist lifestyle.

I'm a noob naturist, got into it because I wanted to feel good about my body (my body is mainly very well built, but my bum is pretty jiggily, which embarrasses me), and I love to be naked at home when no one else is around.but I'm wondering if it's normal to want to keep it that way.maybe I'm just nervous about being more of a nudist, and not wanting to meet new people, but for now, I'd feel uncomfortable being around others.ANyone else feel this way?i have some fat too

Introversion is not a problem. It could create some obstecles for you with regards to visiting clubs or resorts. Clubs and resorts are generally social environments. Lots of people, lots of activitiy and lots of friendly people. Most times, if you're by yourself and off in the distance, no one will bother you and will figure you just want to be alone. If you're right smack dab in the middle of social central and "introverted,"not willing to converse with anyone or standoffish, they may wonder why you put yourself in that situation. My wife is slightly introverted but she's done quite well in a social nude environment and it's actually helped her. She's changed drastically since going social nudist.

With all due respect, do not confuse shyness and introversion. There are many shy people who still thrive in situations where there are plenty of people. True introverts, whether shy or not, find crowds exhausting rather than invigorating. On the other hand, introverts will be able to have very deep and powerful conversations with just two or three other people at a time.
If author Susan Cain is right, we have introverts to thank for the theory of relativity, Harry Potter, Schindler's List, The Cat in the Hat, Charlie Brown, and so much more. It would be interesting to see what the prevalence of introversion is within the nudism movement.

i know what being alone is like so do not worry about it
i get a lot of ok for you to do things but try to make a felony if i do the exact same thing you did 5 seconds ago
just be on your own and do not bother people and who cares what they think since people will always find ways to make other people the problem and not admit they do the exact same thing they are now trying to harass you to go to prison for even when there is no crime but never able to learn to just shut up and leave others alone

In the culture generally, more people are extraverts than are introverts. And yet, do take note of the posting above that notes the number of things that introverts are responsible for: such as "Harry Potter"! Way to go.
When I go to a "clothing-optional" resort, I tend to opt, not just for "no clothes" but also for less contact with others; I notice that there are quite a number of people who bring a book and read; or take along an i-pod and buds, and listen to music. And yet, once in a while, even I am drawn out of myself into more gregarious experience: I doubt if I'll ever be the "life of the party," but even in introvert has his or her own place. As one becomes more and more comfortable with who one is, and doesn't see one's introversion as a "negative", the possibility is ever greater that one can find one's place on the "dance of personality types".
This is good common sense generally. It's even more true, I think, in sense of one's authenticity is not just a matter of being "introverted," but also of being naked. All the best, as you join us in celebrating naked introversion!
