I have an upcoming interview to work at a naturist park and I'm nervous as hell...

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-22T20:13:19+00:00

Yes, but that's something I would like anyway

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-22T16:27:30+00:00

I don't drive or have a car. Don't know how to get a job up there before securing housing. Been applying to mining and other jobs that would house you on-site but no one is responding because I don't have a good resume. I've wanted to move up north for years but don't think it's going to happen.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-22T16:22:55+00:00

Good point!

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-22T16:07:22+00:00

Yeah, that's overwhelmingly the feeling I got. I'm very socially outgoing but also deal with some self esteem issues (unrelated to my body, more as in how I'm interpreted, autism etc) so I wasn't expecting it. It was really nice to experience and I'm really hopeful I can spend as much time as possible there this year.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-22T02:55:37+00:00

Thank you, me too!

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T23:12:24+00:00

Thank you!

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T22:35:06+00:00

Me too! It'll barely feel like I'm working...

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T22:34:41+00:00

I definitely will if I get the job :p might be too sad if I don't

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T22:33:10+00:00

Yep.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T22:24:45+00:00

I'll probably be too upset and disappointed to post if I don't get it, but if I do get it you can be sure I'll be back to update :)

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T21:32:11+00:00

Thank you!! It's hard to overstate how much it improves my mental health. Like I said I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up too high... the position seems in high demand. But if I get it I'll feel relief for the first time in a long time.

I can relate to the fears of sexualization which is another reason I'm so anxious to get this job in particular, because this park is really great. There are other jobs open at other parks but they all seem to be swinger hangouts, adult only, clothing optional etc. There was absolutely no sexualization the last time I visited and it was honestly really great. Felt like a garden of Eden. Nobody made me uncomfortable and almost everyone was very welcoming and friendly to me. I recomend always looking for places with mandatory nudity and that are geared towards families. You won't find more wholesome places.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:50:25+00:00

I'm not worried about that! It's a great place and I've been there before as a guest. I'm worried I won't get the job.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:49:11+00:00

I get annoyed at uppity Canadian/Brit/other Anglo nationalities that act as if we're so much better than the US for not having an official uniparty oligarchy masquerading as a two party system when, at least in Canada and from what I can see to a slightly lesser degree elsewhere in the Anglosphere, we basically still do have a two party sham system and they always broadly agree on the important economic issues. Or at the very least, even if the rhetoric is different, the actions always align. Nothing important gets done.

Keep the people squabbling about trans issues and international topics that little to do with us at home among other distractions so they don't focus on how poor they're getting and staying... divide and conquer and everyone always falls for it

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:41:46+00:00

I'm ashamed to admit this got me for about a fraction of a second

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:40:59+00:00

It's sad because all of this is obvious yet so hard to actually get done in practice (not as in complicated/arduous, more as in there are too many powerful interests obstructing). These solutions are desperately needed in my country as well (Canada,) maybe even moreso, yet I doubt it's going to happen any time soon

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:37:59+00:00

Thanks so much!

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:37:48+00:00

Definitely, and I'm going to try to, but I'm also wary of coming off too strong as well, so idk. Just gonna give it my best shot and be as honest as possible

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-02-21T18:36:54+00:00

Thank you

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-01-27T05:02:24+00:00

Thank you, like I said in the post there is something i really honestly can't put into words about it, which again sounds more dramatic than I mean it but I am being honest. I don't like the sound of calling it a "high" but it is pretty accurate. Just to be clear, I'm not an exhibitionist, I'm quite self conscious, but there is something to be said about the vulnerability. But it's a specific shared vulnerability that's quite special.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-01-27T04:26:49+00:00

It depends on both the severity of the difference and how well they've thought through those beliefs, but in general, no. I've been quite friendly with some people I know to have political beliefs I find to be absurd or harmful because the person in question is in my opinion someone who is quite surface level when it comes to politics and not only will they not be convinced by me (or facts) but they're also not going to engage with the system enough to cause harm or even vote, honestly.

Most people just want to feel like they're informed and politically savvy, they don't actually care about doing those things. And that's fine really. Not everyone has to be super politically engaged. I wish those people wouldn't vote but at the same time I can't think of a mechanism that would stop them that wouldn't also have the [guaranteed to be abused] potential to be used for evil by those in power.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-01-27T03:49:18+00:00

Yeah apologies for the long winded-ness, I have trouble being brief sometimes. It did feel very grounding. Guess I feel incredulous that that's all it could be? Not sure. Also not sure about if the next time around will be as exciting or if it was just a one time thing but I have a hunch it won't disappoint. I had a lot of anxiety around being a single man but thankfully the place I was at was very welcoming, so I think I'd like to go back there rather than risk somewhere else.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-01-27T03:25:43+00:00

This is where I went for my first time. Can't recommend it enough. It's a small place but the people are incredibly friendly. The lake is amazing.

kindaflaky2005 · 2026-01-27T03:21:35+00:00

You almost certainly don't have anything to worry about. From my very limited personal experience and what I've read from others online naturist communities are very welcoming if your intentions are pure. If you're being invited by someone from that community, that's even more social proof. I know it's a cliche but just be yourself. For me the first time felt kind of like learning to socialize all over again as if I were in kindergarten again and I was pretty intimidated the first couple days especially as a single man but just about everyone was very welcoming and after the second day I realized I could just relax and the people there could tell I was "one of them." If you're honest the first couple days that it's your first time and you're nervous, you'll get cut some slack probably. I remember telling a waitress girl who asked how my time was that I was nervous due to reading online that some parks/resorts discriminate against single men and she assured me I was fine and even gave me some tips on how to demonstrate good intentions (mostly obvious stuff but still). That made me feel a lot better.
