How to get over the fear of being nude at beaches?

QUESTION

For context, I'm of Middle-Eastern background, but born and raised in a very open European country. Nudism is nothing scandalous here. Even my own mom, despite her being Arab, went to beaches nude when she was younger.

I'm almost 25 and have basically never really shown my own body to anyone else. Have had a huge weightloss and a surgery that caused huge scars, so my body isn't currently up to my liking.

That being said, I wanna try to go to a nude beach and get rid of this fear (and insecurity) of being naked. I'm aware that people come in all shapes and sizes, but it still doesn't help. I'm paranoid of leering, etc.

Anyone with similar experiences?
