Is it normal that i don't like to show my body shirtless?

I don't have an awesome body, but not the worst neither. I just don't like the idea of showing my body half naked to people in public places like beaches or swimming pools. Also I do not walk around shirtless at my own home neither. I always prefer be dressed at all. Is it normal?

    Yeah, I have that too.
    I stopped going to places where taking off your shirt is required. Feels like a competition every time, but of course that's my problem.

      It's a problem more regular than I thought.
      Meanwhile let's keep our shirts on!
      LOL

    Honestly I don't understand why people cover up at the beach wether you have a good body or not. I think everyone should try to be comfortable in their own skin
    I live really close to a beach and spend as much time there as possible and feel more comfortable in my bikini. I don't like the hassle of clothes. I don't have the best body either, I'm 5'2" and weigh 100lbs. I may be "skinny" but I have no curves and no muscle, me arms and legs jiggle with loose skin but I don't care. I'm misrable in the qinter because of the clothes and layers.

    Yeah I'm kind of the same. I think it's pretty common for people who don't particular like their body. I use to do cross country in high school, and I was like one of the few guys who didn't take his shirt off when on a run. I also feel like regardless of insecurities, being naked can be uncomfortable for some people. Personally I don't like sleeping in the nude, but I know that plenty of people do. Anyways, I think your normal, having cloths on can be just as comfortable as having them off.

      Yes, sadly it's all about insecurity. That's why I do not like to show me shirtless.
      I sleep naked sometimes, but it is just because I sleep alone of course!
      Thanks for your comment

        Hey man we've all been there, and like it's totally understandable. But like your body probably isn't as bad as you think it is. Well actually you seem to I think know that, based on your post's first sentence. Just hang in there, if you don't like something maybe go to the gym. Whatever helps you accept yourself. Just know that you're probably attractive already.

          Hey! You're totally right. I'm not too happy with my body, and thanks for tell me that it isn't as bad as I think, and I'm probably attractive, now I'm thinking about that. However, I really dislike my happy trail (you already answered that question before), I have a little bit of hair in my chest that I also hate, it's not too much, I might be exaggerating... Anyways, I have some habits that I'm not pretty sure to my age, but according to everybody here, am "normal", so I can't be so wrong!
          Well, thanks for answering and commenting my questions pal.

            Sure thing man, anytime. But seriously though, I mean it's hair, you could just shave it off. If you don't like it just shave it. Anyways, I'm sure you're a normal guy, so don't sweat it. Have a nice day :)
