Am i normal for being almost unable to tolerate clothes on my skin?

Hello, my names Felicia Willets, age 23.

Before we begin I've always had a complete aversion to having cloth on my skin, I just don't know why, I feel trapped even tho I am not claustrophobic, I was hoping I could get some comfort of mind in asking here and seeing if i can relate to anyone else on this sort of strange thing. just a warning, this is a pretty big wall of text, so read on if you care for the deeper details.

The details:
Ever since I was growing up I felt pretty annoyed by clothes and got naked whenever I could, I don't get pain or anything, but its just something in my mind that makes me feel like a caged animal in clothing, my parents were ok with my nudity at home, but they had to go through great lengths to even get me to put clothing on by myself.

These days in my adulthood I live in a place where the clothing laws are pretty relaxed, so I prefer to just either be naked at home or if I have to go out in public I wear only a Bikini and some sandals, even during winter when its colder I stick with the Bikini since the cold doesn't bother me and it rarely snows here. People act pretty much in the ways you would expect based on their beliefs and what culture their from when they see me walking down the streets trying to mind my own buisness

I only get properly clothed for special occasions, but when I do I hate it so much, but I do it to respect my more modest friends and family regardless of my comfort issues. I've also almost been slapped as a registered sex offender in court, but since its a mental problem and the court agreed i technically did nothing wrong I've been let off the hook.

I've had some issues getting into college and getting a job due to my issues, but I managed to pull through after some trial and error. College was ironically the most normal part of life for me, no one cared about my choice of attire just being something you would normally see at the beach, but after college getting a job at an office was a difficult task, but eventually one had an opening and they didn't mind as long as I didn't arouse fellow employees, some almost got me fired by making up rumors of me sexually harassing some people in the office, but a few friends I made stood up for me and helped me keep my job.

All in all I just have to ask is this vaguely normal? I feel to different then most folks since I am the way I am, in what parts of my life i don't want to mention i've been bullied plenty due to my quirk. I just want to feel some comfort knowing I might be able to compare my past situations with others who had it happen.

    I have almost same problem. At home I am always nude while going out I hate wearing bra and panties. I often go outside at night without clothes as we live a bit secluded place. Thou it may not b normal but I cannot get rid of it.

    So run free and wild through the forests and get arrested for inappropriate behavior.
