Maybe it’s because I grew up in a rural area with nobody nearby to look in my windows and moved to an urban area, but I absolutely can’t understand people who live in urban areas and keep their blinds open. You don’t want privacy? You’re OK with random people just looking and seeing your living space and you??

I live in a corner apartment with floor to ceiling windows. I leave the blinds open all the time because I just couldn't care less if people see what I'm up to. I'm in Seattle, nudity is legal here, and I already go around topless a lot in the summer heat. Doesn't bother me at all if someone sees me clipping my toenails naked or whatever mundane stuff I'm up to I'm just being human. Maybe if I were on the ground floor within full gawking distance I'd feel more like a spectacle but at least in this unit I'm just another person nobody's going to pay much attention to

Same situation, but at times I chuckle at the thought of someone seeing the beyond weird shit on my screens. I should play more porn to bring the weirdness down.

But regardless, floor to ceiling windows (+ the view) did wonders for my mental health, far beyond expectations.

Yeah that’s basically my attitude. I’ve had my tits out on Main Street of a big city before, my window is inconvenient to pass by. Idgaf unless people stare

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 25 points 9 months ago

Pretty much, yes. Not having sunlight and a sense of outside is depressing, and if you choose to try and peep on my wedding tackle, that's your decision.

I close them if something actually comes up, like a creepy neighbor or police presence.

[–] r9seng@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

I guess it's because I have nothing to hide and I'm not ashamed of my living space.

That and my desire to connect myself with the nature and world around me far exceeds my concern about what other people might think.

[–] Bayz0r@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Yep, totally fine with it. You look, who knows what you might see!

It’s a flex these days, the more wealthy people are the more likely they are to leave their blinds open on purpose.

Google it, I’m too lazy to but I read an article on it last week.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 9 months ago

I don't like sunlight and I'm a real stickler for boundaries, so yeah, all my windows are curtained.

I am probably the vampire of the neighborhood.

We found the naked window neighbor.

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

oh no
how did you find me

[–] Lath@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

You were doing jumping jacks in front of your window. Nice bounce btw.

[–] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The real reward was the genitals we saw along the way.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Pure philosophical poetry.

But don't forget the one we dragged along the way, that stayed with us through thicc and thinn, all while taking a daily beating like a champ.

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

oh no
it's me
i'm the naked window neighbor
i'm naked sitting on the edge of my bed right now after my shower. my bedroom window, right across from me, is open for fresh air.

look, it's my own bedroom. the breeze is really nice. maybe don't look in my windows? it's not like i'm trying to give anyone a show, it's just one of those things in life, like how guys all get naked together in a locker room without acknowledging it, or how airport security people fondle you angrily in ways not ordinarily permitted in polite society and nobody needs to bring it up after. you don't have to look, is what i'm saying. sorry if you can't help it. let's just move on!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

Or we are naked neighbor buddies!!

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm the naked neighbor but I've got that thing that makes windows only transparent from the inside during the day and I have blinds for the night because if my neighbor wants to see me naked they'll have to ask :3

Also like half of the neighborhood would see me and I live on the first floor so I rather not deal with weird people in my window, and I know there's some of that type :p

[–] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Would it be less weird if I brought my own chair instead of standing around?

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Nah just one is kinda awkward, invite some more people :3

[–] hypertown@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you're afraid of being seen but you still like to walk naked in your own house just buy European curtains like most people in eastern Europe do. Those barely block any light so your room is bright but it's almost impossible to see what's inside the room. Similar curtains I found on eBay

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What curtains do people have in the US that this is called European curtains?

[–] hypertown@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I may be wrong since I don't live in the US but when you say "curtains" people will think of those that completely block light. You'd use them for the theater room for example to watch movies on a projector during day. In eastern Europe however when you say curtains it can also mean those transparent ones. They even use different words for each type but both translate to curtains as far as I know.
