Same here. I really don't give a hoot about anyone seeing me naked even if they're a total creep. But I'd rather not face police and gawking, so I'll pass on the public nudity.
I feel terribly ashamed whenever I do something that I perceive as morally or ethically wrong, even if it was very minor and/or completely by accident. I feel like I have failed my family and my school and my friends. When I was younger I would get stuck on this and self-injure and get depressed, but nowadays it's less likely to spiral beyond that initial sinking feeling of failure.
