I Didnt Know This Was a Contest
There are a lot of posts on here from nudists who have a variety of life situations. Some are new to nudism and looking for advice, and some are people like me that live a regular, textile life on our weekdays and might not be able to be fully open about our nudism.
What I like about being here is that there are plenty of places, both groups and here on the forum, to ask questions or swap stories about our experiences. One of the things that bugs me is that in many of these conversations, someone will eventually weigh in and let whoever is asking questions and talk about how they have no problem with being naked 24/7 and open with everyone in their lives. Thats great, but it does nothing for the person asking the question.
Ive had it as the response to topics where folks in my situation (the most common for people on here, by the way) swap stories about funny or concerning incidents theyve encountered. It can come off as a brag that the person making the post is some sort of better nudist.
If you are at a place in your life where you can spend days on end being naked on your own ten acre plot or can spend a retirement living at a nudist camp, more power to you. Keep in mind though that this isnt some sort of contest. We are all good nudists here, even if we are closeted and cant be naked as much as wed like to be.
As with so much in western society ego is a powerful driver of behavior. Some in order to make themselves feel good have prove they have nudist or naturist bona fides. Once I realized I dont need to get caught in that trap I could ignore that stuff understanding that everyones situation is different and being naked in it what defines a person as nudist or naturist.

There are two scenarios in my mind here. There is the response where the person not only provides their input; but also goes on to "diminish" the OP's experience or lack thereof. That's, simply put, just being a jerk.
The second scenario is where the person not only provides their input; but goes on to talk about the "success" of their experience. An example for me would be for example: "convincing the wife." When responding to these type of posts I might not only talk about what I did to get there; but also how it resulted in my wife agreeing to go to the resort, and actually embracing social nudity. I can see how someone who has not even reached the stage where nudism is even on the table could see that as a "brag"; but that's really not the intention. The intention is to demonstrate how a "positive outcome" can be reached.
My point here is that it's not always about bragging. Sometimes it's really just about making a point.

I get that. There are a lot of good stories that Ive read about convincing (I always say converting) friends and lovers. Sometimes, though, I get a patronizing vibe out of some posts.
