>>3575935I'm 30 years old and I can say when I go outside I don't really care what people think about me. Not in an antisocial way, I'm not a sperg and I don't act rude to people or treat them badly. I just dress the way I want and I do what I want without being crippled by what total strangers may think about it. I obviously don't dress like an absolute clown but I'm happy in my skin. I'm also one of the few active street photographers on /p/ if that matters.
All this shit you're telling me I realised years ago, like I'm sorry to be the boomer in this discussion but defending being afraid of what other people think of you to the point that it stifles your life or enjoyment of things like photography is the problem. I'm trying to tell OP he *will* grow out of being afraid of being judged by others for having a hobby. That's all. I don't need you giving me a first year sociology student's basic humanity 101 to tell him that. It is what it is. There's caring about being a functional person in society and then there's being too afraid to be yourself in society. Two different problems.
