Probably about five or six years ago, I posted here mentioning that I found it kind of hard to talk to others here about my crossdressing interests. I'm not sure that I'll ever change my attitude about talking to someone in person (other than my wonderful wife) but I've noticed that, over the years, my feelings have changed regarding interactions here on crossdressers.com.
I don't have anyone on my Friends list here because I didn't think I wanted to get "friendly" with anyone about wearing lingerie, gowns & robes or my favorite, baby doll pajamas. If I throw in an occasional leotard & tights ensemble, that is about the extent of my dressing interests. But lately, I feel like I can be more open about my interests... at least here, among other like-minded people. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed a change in their feelings after having been here for a while.
Perhaps it's retirement and the lessened fear of repercussion should someone find out that I sleep in girly pajamas. Or, perhaps it's that as I've aged, I'm leaning more and more towards "so what?" Maybe it is the society that we live in today... I don't know. But with constant bombardment about how one should do his/her own thing or the seemingly constant news about gender issues, perhaps I've become a little more liberal in my views. Or maybe, just maybe, it's an increasing (yet not overwhelming) interest in others' experiences. I really don't know but my attitude HAS CHANGED. Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.
So... have your attitudes changed about interactions with others ref. your crossdressing activities ad time has passed by? If so, how? I (and perhaps others) would like to know.
