    So I was in the change room today after my workout, chatting with my friend and I see a girl looking over at us. I smiled at her. After she stares at her locker well changing and leaves. My friend, who knows I am bi, says she was checking me out. I was never one of those girls who hated change rooms so I am fairly comfortable but reflecting back...I just really hope I didn't make her embarrassed.

    Did change rooms make you feel uncomfortable? What would you say other people could do to make it more comfortable.
     
  2. i wouldnt be comfortable unless the changing room was all guys.

    idk, its just me. im paranoid that if i even look up i think someone will know my sexuality and accuse me of looking at them or something. i hate it.

    I am just generally uncomfortable with the way I look so I really hate change rooms. Usually I wear an undershirt or I use a bathroom stall

    In highschool I always tried to change in the bathroom stall for 2 reasons: I didn't feel comfortable changing in front of anyone and like flyinhernikes said I was also worried if I glanced at someone they might have accused me of being gay...that was a long time ago, I'm not thaaaaaat shy anymore and I care less of what people think of me now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It wasn't a big deal for me during middle and high school gym class. I just made sure I wasn't staring too hard at a particular guy and that I didn't catch a boner. Learning how to use the sweep glance was very helpful.

    I've been changing in front of other girls at my school since I was about 11. I was never comfortable, but I sort of just forced myself to look straight forward and not talk. Getting in and out as quickly as possible does help.

    Out to everyone
    I go to the restroom and change into gym-clothes privately before gym starts.
    I could use the public changerooms, but I just feel awkward in there.
