“I never liked clothes even when I was younger, I was always being told get your clothes back on whenever I was outside playing!  But when I reached age 10 and was able to be out on my grandparent's or one of my uncle's farms and out in the woods or wading in small creeks, it was then I realized just how wonderful it was to be naked, letting the sun soak into my body!  It wasn't until 1976 and my first taste of public nudity, that I was the most comfortable being nude in public!  I was in the Navy and my ship was in San Diego for 4 days!  A couple of buddies and I went to Black's Beach!  I saw all those people in the bare and I dropped my trunks then and there!” – abhchelms, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/thread/111361/when-did-you-discover-you-were-a-naturistnudist/2/

“. . . ancient Indian philosophies tell us . . . that true enlightenment comes from ‘tyag’ . . . The more you are attached to material things, the more difficult it is to find peace of mind. . . Our days are filled with anxieties and worries and stress about our machines and about our clothes and appearance.  With nudism, not only do you step into the path of ‘tyag’ but in one swoop, you rid yourself of all unnecessary and futile thoughts, stress and worries regarding dress and appearance.” - https://fatunclecheapo.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/save-the-world-be-a-nudist/

“When in my Pennsylvania house I do have one neighbor whose property partially overlooks mine.  When I am in the nude, I usually listen to hear if anyone is there.  If so I stay in a shelter.” - Brendan Canning, http://clothesfreelife.com/archives/

“One day while nude in my pool area I did not realize they [neighbors] were home and his wife came out on their deck.  Later when the husband told me that his wife saw me naked, I said OK.  He then asked how would I feel if he took some pictures.  I responded that he gives me an 8x10 and several 5x7's and it would be OK.  No further discussion and they now know they have a neighbor who is a nudist.” - Alan Bases, Holiday, FL & Bartonsville, PA, https://www.aanr.com/veterans-and-nudism&page=10

 “I am happier and healthier being a nudist than if I wore clothes.  I strongly believe that my mental health is better, because I am more proud of my body, more relaxed, and happier.  Obviously, I sleep better in the nude than if I wore clothing to bed.  And I am not shy being with others when I am nude, whether indoors or outdoors, socializing with friends, or with my wife or alone.  Being nude is a personal choice, maybe, but it is the right one for me and for lots of people!” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/11/10/279/
