When I first started CDing serious, I was too caught up in the "pink fog" to feel guilt, I was totally happy.
So why never any real guilt?
I tend to not stay in one place too long. Therefore, I don't really have any long-term friendships to worry about. My idea of a "friend" is someone who calls me at least once a month just to talk. I have never had many of those since high school.
My jobs are never anything spectacular so it is not like my career is shot if I did get fired over being CD. [In fact, with most of the jobs I have had, they are happy if people so much as show up to work most days.]
I don't have like this big social status to protect. No one gives a crap who I am.
My whole family knows I dress and I don't think that has really effected anything. I mean they don't act different.
So I look at those 4 things and realise that guilt would be a waste of time. My CDing might cost me a bit of ridicule from strangers or people I don't care about. It will not cost me a good job, friends, family, or social status.
So really, you have to look at the cost if you were to get caught. If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.
