Boy, have I been there. I can't really order on-line as deliveries to the house are a source of curiosity for the family of a very closeted person. I've done the "shopping list" routine when picking out hose and the like. I stick to U-scan lanes to avoid questions or conversations. But I progressed to where I'm only a little self conscious getting a pair of shoes at the good will, or make up at Big Lots. I even asked for a price adjustment on the last dress I bought. It's never 'easy,' but the world hasn't caved in on me either.
