Haven't shaved my legs since 2019 and it's the best. I only shave my pits at this point because my sweat smells worse with hair there. Everything else is free, as nature intended.
I have no idea why but for many years I felt this way too. Then it just went away and I have no idea why I would be embarrassed about my legs. Shorts are great!
I don't have a hot take on this. I wear jeans all the time for protection from spiky plants, ticks and other ground-based hazards. The leading reason why I don't wear shorts is that.... I don't own any.
I couldn't possibly give any fewer shits if people saw my legs.
Slacks lower sperm count, it's a proven science. That's why sweatpants are the way to go - and running shorts are like sweatpants for if you live in like a place that's really hot.
