In fact, my neighbor is the only one that knows I'm a nudist. I tend to keep my hobby to myself while I'm naked in my apartment. However, close quarters living is difficult for this lifestyle. I am home during the day while most are gone at work so I don't have to worry too much about being seen. My neighbor is a retired marine and she lives alone so she's always home. I went to go in the hall to grab the mail and she happened to leave the house at the same time and caught me with just a shirt on.. she was a little surprised (as was I) but handled it better than I thought. She said, "hey did you know you're not wearing any pants?" Lol jokingly and I reassured her that I was well aware and liked to be comfortable at home.. meaning naked of course. Since then she's seen me completely naked before and it's not a big deal. I help her around the house when I can and she doesn't make me change my attire.. maybe a robe if I grab something out of the car for her haha. It would be amazing if she would join me but she wasn't interested so I let it be. Just nice to have someone keep my secret instead of getting me evicted.
I lived for years in a backyard cottage, behind the landlords' house. We all got along well and they were respectful of my privacy. My yard was completely secluded and ideal for nudity. I was sitting in the sun one day, and briefly walked inside to get something. I walked back out, sat down, and looked up to see my landlady snipping some herbs from my garden. Normally she wouldn't have come back (through a gate between our yards) without letting me know ahead of time, but I'd encouraged her to help herself to herbs whenever she wanted. She clearly saw me walk out of the house nude. I said, "I guess I should probably put on some shorts" and did that. She didn't particularly react and we both carried on. I figured we're both adults with sensible attitudes about these things. Not a word was said and I was just a little more careful about planning when I'd be nude out there. All in all, it was a non-event.
My next doo r neighbor has come to many of our parties and will do us favors now and then while we are away like get our mail or let our dogs out etc. One day I was cleaning my pool naked of course and he looked over the fence because he saw the pool brush pole. He wanted to ask us over for a party. We chatted for a bit and then he said he sometimes walks around his backyard naked as well. I told him likely anytime he would look over the fence he would see us naked. He said next time he would make sure it was my wife out there before looking over. To which I replied that would not be an issue either. He jokes about it every time we are over and always says we are the best neighbors he has ever had. I would say he is ok with it LOL.
When I lived in my apartment in Texas, I lived on the second story facing the back side of some businesses. Our patio was a shared patio each having it's own sitting area. The other apartment was empty for months and I got used to going on the patio naked to smoke and have my coffee. One morning I was sitting there enjoying my coffee in the nude, and all of a sudden there was this lady coming out of the other unit. She had moved in the prior day while I was at work. She smiled and said hello and was on her way. A few days later, we were both arriving home at the same time. I started to apologize for the other morning and she said no worries, you lived here before I did. Sometimes she would join me for morning coffee in her robe. Not once over 6 years did she complain about my nudity and would come watch Movies with me at my place. There were a few times during coffee that her robe would loosen up and and her breasts were exposed and she never worried about covering up again. I sure miss that neighbor.
At our old house I got tired of sneaking around my own yard not much coverage ,so I asked the neighbor to my surprise they were cool about it . And they saw me often we even chatted a few times me nude them dressed .We moved but miss my old neighbor
Not exactly in front of the neighbor, but mentioning and getting a favorable response.
We have a 6' privacy fence but it is possible for one neighbor to see over it from his kitchen window or deck.
When the house changed owners, I put a wind screen on the top of the fence on that side,
By fall, it was getting to be in bad shape, so I took it down.
The neighbor saw me doing so and mentioned why I had it in the first place.
I told him that was often nude inside the fence I knew he could see over it from his deck and kitchen.
He said it wouldn't bother him if he saw me.
I haven't put a windscreen up since.
I really miss our last place. We had a large in ground pool, so most of our yard was secluded. I taught school, so I was home most of the summer. So, I worked in the yard mainly nude and would lay out nude. When it was really hot, I could get my wife nude in the pool. There was a small opening between us and one neighbor. My wife didnt like it because she was always working over there with her breast almost exposed. We had a gate between us and she was always coming over to plant something in my yard. She had breasts augmentation surgery while we were there. One time I was over there and she was running around in a bikini. Too bad I didnt approach her about it, we might could have been nude together. Now, I live in a state where nudity is illegal. My subdivision doesnt allow fences and I live on a corner lot. I have fixed my deck where I can layout nude. I always cover up when a drone or helicopter goes over. Since, my wife has died, I live nude in the house and keep the doors locked.
We are very lucky to have a secluded back yard and patio. If neighbors go to the end of the yard we can be seen. It does happen with various neighbors but we assume they want to see us, we do not mind. No one has taken our invites to join us seriously yet. Always funny to get various textiles reactions. I figure just be natural, no big deal.
