My skin is pretty screwed up, which means that I occasionally get itchy or uncomfortable when I don't shave--particularly when I wear leggings or tights, and I love leggings and tights--so I could definitely lie to myself and say it's a comfort issue.
Really, it's because I was an awkward, horribly insecure twelve year old who couldn't take weird looks in class or questions/teasing in the lunch line, so I started shaving my legs. Now, I'm still every bit as awkward and insecure, so when I DON'T for a few weeks or more (for instance, the past few weeks), I get weird about wearing clothes that display that fact. I wish I didn't. I don't think I'll ever be showing it off, but I hate that it's an active concern in my mind.
