I feel awkward seeing my friends naked

How do you feel about seeing your friends walk around in the nude? Is it assumptious of them to think you would be fine with it? Or am I the prude?
One of my friends is perfectly comfortable whipping everything out when we are away together (e.g when she is changing she will just stand there chatting to me totally naked). It makes me feel awkward and I don't know where to look.
She's a size 22 so everything is very "out there" I don't think her being smaller would make me feel differently but it's definitely a lot harder to try and ignore her gigantic boobs 🤣
Would you be fine with this? AIBU?

it doesn't bother me in the slightest, but I know a lot of people are more reserved about that kind of thing.
when I was growing up, we went to naturist campsites and so on, and I feel no more exposed when I'm naked than when I'm dressed. I'm happy to get changed in front of pretty much anyone.
I was still surprised by one of my friends following me into the bathroom when I went to the toilet, as, in our house, we are in the habit of leaving the door open, and just announcing that we're going to use it. she just followed me in and carried on chatting. but clearly, it didn't bother her, and it didn't BOTHER me, I was just surprised.

@MabelMora - Absolutely, with certain visitors l would stroll around to the bathroom etc naked, with some friendships we have known each other a long time and seen it all before.

@CrowleyKitten - At home, l tend not to shut the loo door and will carry on chatting if l go for a wee. Obviously it depends who l’m with though. I’ve also shared cubicles with friends in busy restaurants and bars. i close the door when more explosive matters are taking place though 😀.

We all have bodies and l’m no more concerned about someone seeing my vulva and bum then l am about them seeing my belly button. It’s not exhibitionism it’s about being relaxed with my own body.
