    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

      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.

      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.

      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.
