Since when...

So because I’m seen in public in my PJ’s for less than 5 minutes at a time I have no self respect and self pride?

I have to disagree. I am very proud of who I have become, as is my family. I am 22, living on my own, and working a steady and high paying job. I am helping my girlfriend pay for college and helping my mom get back on her feet after a rough couple of years.

The people I surround my self with? Professionals. Shirt and tie people. Heck, I’m a shirt and tie person most of the time.

Now, I am most likely not the norm. I am sure there are many many people that are just like you describe. Just pointing out that everyone that might wear PJs out in public is not what you think.
