OK, so I was underdressed, with baggy pants and a heavy sweater, but I've never been so nervous buying gas and groceries. I don't think I'll ever get to the point of presenting, but this was a nice experience.

It can take time and a few steps at a pace you can accept

Congratulations!
Every step is fun. Enjoy the experience.
Tell me about it. I will never forget the time (quite a few years ago now) I started to push my envelope by under-dressing and then going out. It was the summer too and so I wan't wearing lots of layers. Mega scary at the time but you have to do it ..... and it does get easier

It took me several outings in public before I felt comfortable....not to mention a few aborted outings because of panic attacks.
Nowadays, I love and crave being out anywhere/anytime.
It is such a nice experience that you will never be able to forget it, and you will remember each time you go out and accomplish something new you didn't expect to do. You are on your way girl. Enjoy

He (she) who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance.

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
It's so nice to hear others with stories like this. Mega-scary is the word. I occasionally go for walks semi-dressed, perhaps in a skirt or top but I wear a poncho over the top of it. I'll go with my wife (extra confidence) or solo. Sometimes it's fine, other times panicky. But strength in numbers, right? The more I read stories like these, the more I'm building up confidence.Originally Posted by Rachel Morley

Nathalie - like your mention of 'aborted outings' , "Abort, Abort!". That's why when I go out properly I'm going to need the strong GG I know to grab me by arm and keep me on target!
Everyone has to start somewhere. As your confidence grows I am willing to bet you start wear more overly feminine outer garments for your trips out. Congratulations on taking your first steps down that path.

Gee Nathalie, , I could have written that! In my case it probably took 20 years between that scary first time and getting to where I am now. Outhiking, I hope it doesn't take you that long!

Each of us goes through this is different sized steps. But if you want to continue, it will get easier with each passing effort. The biggest thing is to keep doing it at a level that you are comfortable with. Even those of us that go out with reasonable comfort can have some jitters if it has been a long time.
Those first steps are always an adrenalin rush.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
So [still!] are the next ones!
