My resolution is to be more open about being a nudist.
As an aside, I prefer the word "nudist" because it's unambiguous about what you're declaring. Philosophically, I probably align with "naturist" a bit more closely but for public consumption, I'm a nudist. And I'm not going to be shy about admitting it. Once it's out there, you can always get into the weeds about what it is and what it isn't.
No, I'm not going to steer conversations to nudism merely for me to do some kind of weird virtue-signaling or proselytizing. Yet if the topic of what I did last weekend arises, I'm not going to be squeamish about telling people I spent time at my nudist club completely, 100% naked. And that I had a great time in a community of like-minded people.
Will that change my relationship with some people for the worse? Maybe. But was that a relationship I should be trying to keep in the first place? Will some change for the better? That's a maybe as well and something to anticipate with happiness. The most likely outcome is that people will treat announcing "I'm a nudist" with the same interest as me declaring for a particular sports team or talking about my favorite genre of novels. The reaction will probably be, "Oh, that's nice". The people you want to get to know are the ones that follow up with, "Tell me more".
To do what I do every year, to be an honest, wholesome person.
