What part of clothe shopping annoys you most? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As a 6'2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don't.

My autism manifests heavily on the side of hating certain feelings and very much hating anything tight on me. Anywhere. Makes it difficult to wear anything. Especially bras. Which is very bad as it's very obvious I am not wearing one.

So instead of trying to find one that works I just have up caring.

Still trying to find comfortable clothes but if I find that, I care little how it looks. Usually. Until the anxiety manages to come screaming in.

Especially bras

Excuse if I am mistaken but isnt it the whole point to be snug while not being too small and bordering on squeezing you?

Yes, which is why they are absolute hell for my brain.
