I think Barefoot-boy hit upon it in an earlier post. I think you have some kind of deep-seated foot fetish and look upon your own bare feet as sexual objects. Therefore it's embarrassing to expose them in front of your mother and sister. The problem is, you just assume - probably more subconsciously than consciously - that your mother, sister, and others feel the same way about bare feet, or about your bare feet in particular. And that is the thing you just have to get over, because in all likelihood, they do NOT look at your feet or think about your feet in the same way you do. To them, they're just bare feet, no different from bare hands - at least from the perspective of having any kind of sexual symbolism. I don't think you need to waste your time trying to figure all this out and or analyze why or how this feeling about your own feet came about. It doesn't really make much difference in the long run, because there's nothing really wrong with having such feelings about your feet as long as you don't let them totally control your life and your enjoyment of life. It sounds like you really want to go barefoot. So what you need to do is just do it. Believe me, the sky won't fall, and your mother and sister will not be mortified. Force yourself to do it - that is, if that's what you really want to do - and it sounds like you do. If you do that, one day you'll look back and wonder how it could have been so difficult.
We all can give some encouraging thoughts, but it is you who must decide to throw the shoes and socks by the wayside and enjoy barefooting at home regardless of the situation. All of the advice here is worth nothing if you back it up with negative thoughts telling yourself that you can't this or can't that. If you can not seem to go barefoot in front of your sister and mother, that is ok, learn to accept that. Please do not labor over the fact that this might be diffucult for you, it will come in time if you don't force the issue upon yourself. Meanwhile, enjoy barefooting in the way it is most comforting to you. That's all that I can really say at this point.
I wholeheartedly agree. :cheers2: As I wrote in another post, when barefooting, I'd much rather wear shorts rather than long pants or jeans. To me, the two just go together, like soup and a sandwich. If I have to go out in long pants, I might as well put on socks and shoes, too (yuck!).
Barefoot goes with anything. Example: Long black slacks+Long sleeve black shirt with neru collar+black suit jacket+bare feet = pure class. Just think how cool Neo would look with bare feet...
Oh, I love going barefoot with long pants or jeans on. It makes it more fun! That is what I can't seem to get over. Is being fun a negative for me?
I actually prefer going barefoot with jeans on, bare feet and jeans just seem to go together. Enjoy barefooting whichever way is best for you! I have the same preferance, nothing wrong with it. Enjoy!
Jeans and bf is the best look, i agree. long as the jeans don't drag on the ground. Just got a pair 29 length fit just right.
How about a sarong? As I stated before, barefoot goes with everything. That said, however, my maxim for clothing is "less is better".
Just a matter of personal taste, I guess. However, on a warm day, there is hardly anything more comfortable than wearing a skirt and having the air flow freely down there, while being barefoot from your waist down. Another option are harem pants, of course. Wiggling personally fashionable toes, ~*Ganesha*~
this is some weird shit. do peoples parents really have so much control over them that they cant take their god damn shoes and socks off? your a human being with free will. do what you want to do i mean.. whats the big deal? ive never thought twice about my feet being bare (i still wear shoes and socks, im not some constant barefoot guy) its fucking feet. not like your walking around nude or something. if my parents tried to control me like that.. i would punch them for being so retarded fuck that.
My, such latent hostility towards one's parents (along with poor grammar and puctuation). Perhaps becoming a "constant barefoot guy" will give you a bit of badly needed Jai Yen Yen...
In another post I read that you're in your 40's. I really do think that you have a major problem, being barefoot for you is loaden with all kinds of sexual connotations that you see as negative. I think you need to go to a psychiatrist. This is not meant to make fun of you, but as a serious advice!
I'd like to get comments on this thread started again. Also would like to chat one on one with some of you. As an update, I'm able to sort of go barefoot at home. I can do it pretty easily at night when all are asleep and the door to my room is closed. During the day, like today, I am in my computer room and no one really notices. I've been barefoot today all day. Hope to keep it up. talk to me..........
I never heard of such a thing as not being able to go barefoot just about anywhere,except where it's agin' the law. Not to mention in your own house!! Wow.
You could tell your parents that you recently discovered how good it feels to have no shoes and socks on. And that it feels a bit awkward because you've never been barefoot around the house much. If you ask "is that strange?" they will probably say no. If you don't make a big deal of it (for the outside, because it is a big deal for you), they won't neither.
