My closet sufficed until my weight came down lots to be comfortable going out dressed again - interacting with an accommodating or even accepting society is a rewarding experience.
Each of us has our own drivers and constraints whether personally imposed or negotiated and our solution to satisfying the need to dress is the outcome. Frankly though Nicole, I don't give a [proverbial] whether others stay in the closet or venture out. Absolutely no benefit to me. I do however offer encouragement based on personal experience to those who would like to try.
