Just for fun --- What do you wear to T?

I don't dress up for anything / anyone.

I'm not into this embodied ********...

I wear t-shirts and skate shoes and jeans and hoodies.

Everywhere.

All the time.

If I can't do that... I'm not going.

Well... I do have some black dress pants which I kinda like (they are ok worn with skate shoes).

I used to have some 10-ups - doc martins that I used to wear everywhere... Steel caps... Been meaning to get some more of 'em (though they might be too heavy for my feet after my injuries now).

I guess I aim for tidy... But for me physical attraction... Isn't about someone who thinks they look pretty good (to me that isn't attractive). It is about... Someone who I can intellectually and emotionally engage with etc. The embodied body crap is just crappy :-(

Its great actually... I had a talk to my therapist about some of my issues about clothes... And about how (not at all talking about anyone on these boards) but about how... Some people I've met (like at work and stuff) dress... So that guys eyes are going to drift to their boobs and their ***. And then they wonder... Why it is... That the guys don't take them seriously intellectually and / or as people. Why the guys are only interested in flirting with them etc. And... I don't want that at all. I want the people who see me as and respect me as a person. And the people who look through me in virtue of my dressing like that. Well.. That is precisely why I do it. So I'm less likely to meet 'em. Or at least so I'll have decent interactions with them if we ever do get chatting.

It gets really hot here. And most people move to shorts. I guess that is kinda ok. People can wear shorts if they want to. I'm not really thinking that is obscene... But I'd sure as hell never do it. My therapist doesn't wear shorts either. I like that about him. Something that we have in common :-) But he does do the lighter in summer and darker in winter colour thing. I guess I have hoodies that I put on and take off lol. I dunno...

I'm with you, Riptide. I always wear jeans, some kind of a sweater, and boots. I go there after work (I'm a teacher - 2nd grade) so dressing up is not really practical. He's never said anything but I often wonder if he wonders if I own anything else.

I see my T Mondays and Thursdays. Mondays I have class so I dress really down, sweats usually. Every other day I have practicum so I have to dress more professional. I don't dress up for therapy.

Though there was one time one of my friends committed su*c*de. I am originally from Chicago. Later that week I felt down and su*c*dal so I purposely wore a Chicago shirt to therapy. She nailed it right away that I wore it to convey a message about my own struggle.

One of maaaaany insecurities in therapy is that T will become bored with me so I had not worn the same thing twice until last week - I haven't been going all that long, obviously. ;-)

I think it's ******** too but it makes me feel better. I'll take what I can get.

What's ******** about dressing up to feel better? I think it's great.

As long as it doesn't hurt anybody....including yourself. You do whatever it takes. It's so much easier to make yourself feel bad. No effort in that. But, when you find something that makes you feel good......go for it
