Is it normal to panic and cover yourself with your hands if you're seen in your underwear? Or am I too sensitive?

A group of friends and I are spending the weekend together. It's basically all girls for the most part. Anyway, I was changing my clothes into something more comfortable and suddenly the door opens and like 4 people walk in. I was in my bra and panties and nothing else. I said "whoa I'm in my underwear" and covered my crotch area with my hand and wrapped my other arm across my bra. I kinda squeezed my thighs together too..

Well, now they keep teasing me (I don't know if I'd call it mocking or not yet) and saying I'm immature and way too sensitive. It's really embarrassing...

Are they right?

  • I wouldn't worry about it if I was you I mean basically it was a reaction that's all you didn't know who is walking through that door I mean to be honest with you about it what you should really do is next time you see one of those people like look up and be stunned that they're standing right there and then make a little scream and cover yourself real quick and then just start laughing that shows that you can laugh at yourself and you're okay with what happened they'll drop it what she do that don't leave you alone you have to be able to laugh at yourself too it's not a big deal show them that you thought it was kind of funny too if you try to defend it they will tease you even more so just go with it

  • Honestly you were caught totally off guard. The surprise of the moment is what you were reacting to more than anything else. But also, I think your reaction was fine. You were with friends, but honestly, showing your body to a group of friends is something you should not be expected to do, let alone being totally shocked by them coming in unannounced.

    Modesty is nothing to be ashamed of.

  • It’s a normal response for people who like their privacy, and it’s totally fine.
    Some girls are just used to being exposed to other girls in their underwear. Like the locker rooms. People just don’t seem to care sometimes if they’re seen in their undergarments. Others do, and that’s okay.
    I’m the same way, even with my sister. I want my privacy to be respected.

    • That's how I feel and tbh... they're making me feel like there's something wrong with feeling embarrassed about it

    • Ignore them. Honestly, it’s not worth your energy to feel upset or care about what they’re saying. You simply like to be covered up and not show yourself in underwear’s and bras! It’s normal for a lot of girls.

    • Is it okay if I ask a semi personal question?

    • Show All
  • It’s normal if it’s a surprise or if it’s boys who see you but if it’s not a surprise and it’s girls then it’s kinda weird.

  • It is your choice but realize that you all have the same parts and you need not be afraid to let others see your body.

  • No, it's normal. Takes me a few seconds to chill out a bit

  • Most people would naturally do that. Especially with more than one person. No matter how comfortable you feel with them. There's a select few in the world that really don't care if people see them or not, but this is rare. For most, that's a normal natural reaction.

  • As a girl, being seen in your underwear, nothing is really exposed unless you deliberately make it obvious. For a guy that is not the case.

    • I mean depending on what kind of underwear

    • If it was me and my penis was showing I would want to cover it.

  • Being caught in your underwear affects people differently. Some don’t care who sees them whereas others feel embarrassed.

  • They aren't really your friends, they are just making fun of you.

  • Its normal if you're really shy about your body, or not use to others seeing you undressed.

  • Your underwear usually covers more than a bikini. You're being overly sensitive

  • I don't think you need to worry if they're the same gender

  • it was a "reflex" to them "Barging in", it could have been anyone... if they had knocked, you would have reacted differently...

  • You were surprised, so very normal.

  • It's at your discretion. If you don't want others to see, you should feel free and consider it normal to cover yourself

  • It's weird because you see bikinis everyday after school and they reveal more. If you grew up having a brother you would understand
