Thread: Is it normal???

  1. Question Is it normal???

    By now, most of you know me... I hope.
    You know that physically, I'm 31, yet mentally, I'm 10.

    My question is,

    Is it normal for me to hang out at home in just my underwear? (All the time, I hate being dressed.)
    I mean for a 31 year old, I'd guess not.
    But for a 10 year old, it seems to be.
    But what about for someone like me?

    H! Mike, I have read articles on this topic but it has been awhile. Is it normal? I have older boys who are always in various stages of dress and undress. They wear boxers so I do not see much difference between that and bathing trunks. I do think it is polite to dress when people are visiting. Mari

    Mike,

    Why is this important to you? Is this behaviour interfering with your life in any way?

    What you do in private is your own business, ao long as you are not harming yourself or anyone else. However if a certatin behaviour is disrupting or interfering with your daily life events, then you may want to seek help.

    It's not so much the behaviour as the motivation or in some cases the compulsion to engage in it.

    It's not disturbing my life, I just enjoy hanging around the house that way. I hate having to be dressed all the time. It does not bother anyone here.

    I was just wondering if it was normal.

    Mike,

    A lot of times what is normal for one person is not necessarily normal for another. Everyone's definition and description of normal are different. If you are not disturbed by it and nobody around you in the house is bothered by it, I see no worries.

    Mike,

    I dont see anything wrong with it at all, if your happy and the people around you are happy then thats fine, if your comfortable doing it then that what matters. I'm 50 and regulary spend the whole day in my PJs because that feels right to me.

    Hi Mike,

    I think every one who has replied have said all the right things, personally it is great to be really casual at home after having to be dressed up for work, I hang about in my bath robe after a shower on home days, liking the feeling of not having to get dressed, a middle aged private rebellion of childhood constraints and strict rules.
