I dislike showers

Post Reply New Topic

Am I the only one?, I hate how the water goes on you and then you are all soggy and wet hair dripps.
Its just a long process and then you have to get dry.
I dread getting ready in a morning, one reason why I hated getting up when I was little.

I have to practically be wrestled into getting in the shower because I detest that sudden drastic change in environment. But then after I adjust I enjoy the sensation. But that means I then don't want to get out. So getting me out can require as much effort as getting me in. The whole routine is pretty comical.

I used to hate showers myself. Baths weren't so bad---but I still didn't like them that much.

When I discovered that it kept me clean, and that people stopped going "ewww!" when they were around me, I started liking showers much better---even if some of the sensations turned me off.

Getting me in and out of the tub is easier.

You aren't alone. It took me years to be okay with taking a shower in one bathroom, in my own house, after basically being threatened. I still cannot handle other showers.

I gave my parents a hard time about it when I was a kid, but I love them now. I don’t usually want to get out.

I think it was the transition I disliked - not the actual sensation. Oddly enough, I was also afraid of being sucked down the drain.

I shower all the time. In fact it's pretty rare I actually have a bath.

Sameeee. I always take a bath (even though my mom says it doesn't help my hair get clean, which is another struggle because I hate washing my hair because I'm so bad at it).

No, I actually really like showers. The only problem for me is being wet afterwards. I dry myself as fast as possible, because I can‘t stand it.

I don't like showers and the whole process at all. I especially hate washing my hair, mostly because I have a lot of it and it gets really greasy. However, I also hate feeling unclean. My sister introduced me to dry shampoo, which I like but I still feel the need to force myself to shower every other day at least.

I've found that my reaction varies a great deal depending on the day. It's always a little hard at first, but sometimes my stress over the noise and sensations fades and I find myself enjoying it. Other times I have to jump out because I become overloaded. Invariably, though, I come out feeling better, especially on bad sensory days.

Looks like I'm the weirdo here, I LOVE showers. They're like a full body warm massage and you get clean as a bonus. Maybe for me it's a "good stim". And I love how clean and warm and kind of lazy I feel afterwards. Yeah.

I hate the noise that the water makes. I hate the sensation of the water on my skin. My parents used physical force to get me into the shower while I screamed and cried. Now that I'm an adult I don't cry anymore but still put off the activity as long as I can.

Some time ago
I got the picture of baths
as being people soup.

A large ceramic tureen
of me broth.
ugh.

It's been showers since.

I admit that the getting dry part is tedious, but I really enjoy showering. A warm shower on winter evenings and that drowsy feeling and off to bed.... a cool refreshing shower in the summer heat... and the delicious feeling of being clean... Yeah, I enjoy taking showers.

I don't care for baths though.
