Something I just read in another thread got me thinking. Are those of us that choose to remain in the closet, naturally less sociable. I was brought up in the city. As a teen I loved clubbing and especial dancing. But I also loved to dress and never felt able to combine the two, as I could never pass. At 19 I joined the RN. I could never, at that time, share my true self with my ship mates and by 21 I was T total and thereafter kept my self to my self. Spending most of my evening on my section, sat at my computer coding, rather than down the mess. I got on fine with all on board I just seldom chose to socialize with them. Time ashore was mostly spent exploring the nearest hills to the allotted port a love I retain. When I could I would dress but opportunities were few. Time at home I still enjoyed clubbing with my wife. But I was never one to go to the pub with the lads. I just found that a total bore. Often I thought how nice it would be to just go out and be one of the girls. I have never found an opportunity to live that evening. My relationship with my wife, rules out that I pursue it. So it will remain an is the grass greener question.
So back to the question. Am I / are you less sociable because of crossdressing or do you think your level of social interactivity would have been the same regardless. For me I think it has made a considerable difference.
