Thank you all

Im going to be brave and take my paci out more because as Sabu mentioned, there are plenty of punk/alternate kids who go out dressed up randomly and many other different people with different interests so why not! Other people wear collars so what's wrong with a paci?
Just in case - because I think you are talking about using your paci right in front of everyone
Please, be careful and don't make yourself unhappy - you might read that I did it under cover in the middle of the night and I told you guys
what I think about that.
Don't expect all people to be as open minded as this community...you really need to consider a few things first (if you want to use it without cover or something):
Is your self-confidence high enough to deal with people talking about you or even snickering?
(and they would do both)
What would you tell them if they ask why are you doing that?
(have you just lost a bet, or would you tell them what you feel?)
Would it still be a stress relieve for you if they do?
Take me for example, I deal with some very high issues with my self-confidence - I think about what people might think about me all the time, which isn't healthy.
Using a pacifier is of course a really big deal compared to wearing diapers under your pants, it's right in peoples faces...
It would be nice to know what people who are not into ABDLs would think when they see someone with a pacifier in the mall or in the bakery.
Wearing a collar is way different, people usually don't think about pets right away, but they will asociate a pacifier with babies/toddlers and will find it really odd.
I wore a dog's collar a few year's ago too, but as mentioned I have not enough self-confidence to deal with all the talking and snickering of others, there will be always people who could make you really upset, even if the majority in the example of the collar don't really cared.
It really depends on yourself and personality - so no one can or should say 'just do it'.
Sincerely,
Sabu
