WP, I am extremely shy so I understand this very well. I have a hard time with "showing my body off". I think it's because I have a very fair complexion and people teased me when I was younger. I hide a lot behind hoodies & jackets as well. As a matter of fact, 3 months ago I went to Florida for the first time in my life, and I wore shorts for the first time in approx. 13 years. Progress? LOL.
