Ok this is an update from my past two stories. I have to admit I am starting to understand why people like it. I think last update I was still kinda in a shock like state where I didn’t want to admit that I liked it. I’ve gotten used to the sounds and am starting to enjoy the feelings. The past few nights I feel cooler and have not been overheating. Yesterday I went on a walk through the grass and it felt really good. Very soft and slightly wet. We also had a fire pit going and the heat drying off my feet felt amazing. My favorite so far has been when I helped with the garden and the tilled soil. That felt really good. These are kinda the exceptions though. I still don’t like how dirty my feet feel all the time. Most surfaces hurt. while walking on the grass I stepped on rocks and nuts half the time. Right now though I still think in most cases that I would rather be sh0ed. I definitely won’t go to sleep in socks or in like nice grass anymore but I still don’t want to be stepping on rocks all the time. Tomorrow I an going to the beach so that will be a new experience. I’m a little worried about being barefoot in front of all the people there but since everyone is barefoot it shouldn‘t be too bad. I will update if I feel different. Thanks for reading!

This is an update of a post I did a few days ago. Read it here if you want to catch up. Everyone started packing for the trip and I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I decided to decide later and I only packed one pair of shooes and 3 pairs of socks. for a 30 day trip this isn’t a lot but I could make it work. We got into the car. my mom and sibling were already barefoot and siblings were too. I couldnt stop thinking about it the whole car ride. About 10 minutes away I made the decision. I was sitting in the back all by myself so I was alone. I took off my socks and threw them into the truck before I could make a decision to stop myself. This way even if I wanted them back I couldn’t without someone noticing. I started to freak out and hide my feet under my self. When we got there I walked out slowly onto the stone pathway to the house. When my mom saw me she looked at me and smiled. She didn’t make a big deal which kinda surprised me. I walk in and immediately their is like 15 people in the living room. All barefoot. The only person out of all the people who even cared was my uncle who looked at me and said, “Your toes must feel nice finally freed.” So far I did not like it. I felt like I was being weird. I felt like I wasn’t myself if that makes sense. The feeling of being barefoot I also dislike. I feel load and I can feel every uncomfortable thing. Oh and the dirt. I can feel everything sticking to my feet. So far today I just went to my room and unpacked. I didnt do any activity and kinda just was in my room hiding under my covers. during dinner my uncle asked how I was liking it and I just shrugged. He so far has been the only one to care. I am continuing going barefoot for at least a week bc that is what my mom said to do. I’ll update if I fell any different about this all. Thanks for all the advice from my last post I honestly think it helped. Reading all the stories on the sub Reddit have giving me hope that maybe I’ll like it too but so far it’s not for me.

Hi. This might not be the right place to put this but I would like to hear this sub reddits opinions. I‘ve never really went barefoot before. I have a fear of going barefoot in front of people which does sound a little odd but it is my irrational fear. Being barefoot is indifferent to me just i can’t have others see my feet. granted I have only been barefoot right before or after showers in the past few years. I wear socks to bed and have special ones for the beach and pool. The reason I bring this up is that my mom and her family are kinda health nuts and will do anything to be as healthy as possible. She likes to be barefoot a lot. She and her brothers thought it would be fun to do a big July nature thing where me, my mom, my uncles, my siblings, and my cousins all go to my grandfathers huge ranch for all of July and do long hikes, fresh food(no ordering and keep bought food to a minimum), limited screens, grounding, and some other things. The thing for me is grounding. She said that everyone is going to be barefoot for the whole month. This is what I’m worried about. The rest of my siblings and cousins are excited for the trip and are not bothered by the barefoot aspect. No one is against it like me. She said I can decide if I want to do the grounding. She is convinced that this will help me in life be more confident and love being barefoot like her which she says being barefoot outdoors is the best feeling but idk if that’s true. She said that I should do it for at least a week before switching off of it if I decide. I’m honestly wanting to do it. I feel like it would be good for me so I can become comfortable with being barefoot and not skip on sleepovers and pool parties anymore. I’m just so scared to do so. All I want from this post is to hear people in this sub to convince me to do and hear your opinions. I will try to post again in July to update everyone. thanks everyone.
