Possible SH trigger!!!

My very first visit (>a year & a half ago) , I PURPOSELY scheduled a job interview for afterward. I LOVED the idea of going in with the "interview" mindset & looking all in control! Lol. She said it made a huge impression. Of course it was a mask!
I MIGHT have worn shorts once when it was in the high 90s & I was going to the county fair directly after. I RARELY go out in public in shorts unless its REALLY HOT!!! Occasionally I will wear capris. Generally I wear jeans, a top (NO WORDS or Logos, more like blouses or famine T-shirts) & blazers or sweaters in the winter.
I ALWAYS WEAR HEALS!!! If I'm OUT in public (unless working) I nearly always have heels on. I'm short(5'3") and they make me feel more in control.
I have relaxed over the months of twice a week visits. I might have worn flat shoes once too.(:

Actually, right now, I don't have very many clothes that fit because I guess I've lost a few too many pounds. (Whatever, lol)
I do have some body image issues but I won't accept an ED diagnosis)
Anyway, hubby won't let me buy new clothes. Whatever... That's a rant for another thread....(;

Note: I do have scars from SH on my thighs which is why I'm very uncomfortable in shorts and my legs are.... Yucky anyway!!!!

QUESTION: Did you feel more open to sharing when you dressed down?
