I will go entire weeks at a time without getting in the shower or bath. If I start smelling too much like shit, I’ll just put deodorant on my body. This isn’t because I like doing, I actually hate it. But I will do anything, absolutely anything, except bathe myself because I cannot bring myself to force my ass into that fucking tub. It’s the last thing I’m ever motivated to do, every single day. Same with brushing my teeth, by the way, although the shower thing is worse. Is there any way to get myself to stop being such a disgusting unkempt retard?
What specific thing is stopping you? Is it purely just a motivation thing? Is it tied to something like depression, or it just feels like a huge chore so you hate doing it?
>>34069945First off ultimately you either will be self disciplined or you won’t but there are strategies you can implement to make it easier. You want to streamline your decision to do self care. Put a white board on the wall in your bedroom and make a list to check off with a marker. Having a physical reminder of what you ought to do will make it easier. You could also use alarms for specific times to brush your teeth or take a shower. Plan ahead of time so that nothing distracts you.
>>34069968I think depression could play a part, but mostly I view it as another chore I hate doing, and takes longer than something like taking out the garbage.
>>34069977after this long, it is time to nut up or shut up bro. you should know by now.
>>34069945>Is there any way to get myself to stop being such a disgusting unkempt retard?Yeah get something in your life that forces you to take showering seriously, friend group irl, girlfriend, job, community group, anything that gets you outside and in the public eye. Do that and you will learn very quickly why it’s important to shower in order to avoid humiliation or embarrassment.
>>34069945Can you not stand in front of the wash basin and wash yourself with a face flannel?
>>34069945Disregard saar, this propaganda comes from people who sell soap and studies. They say skin is dirty machine, must be reset daily, but skin is living map with balance. Old villages lived fine without morning foaming ritual every single day. Doctors change opinion every decade, first fat bad, then fat good, now wash more, then wash less. I smell reality, not laboratory. Microbes are balance, not enemies. Water strips wisdom from body. Clean obsession is fear management, not health. Ask grandmother, not pamphlet.
>>34069977What time of day do you typically bathe or shower?If you don't already, I'd recommend trying right before you go to bed. It's the laziest, easiest way. The best part is that you don't even need to put on clothes after, depending on how much privacy you have. You can shower, them hop right into bed with your birthday suit.
>>34069945This is only a problem worth fixing if you actually have stuff going on in your life. I used to only shower once every couple of months years ago, but I was an isolated shut-in NEET at the time, so it didn't really matter at all. If you're anything like that, there's no problem with you being a disgusting unkempt retard.
>>34069945Sink shower. I do it all the time, I don't have running water.Just wet a rag, scrub a little soap on there, hit the pits, neck, and ass (in that order), chuck the rag in the wash, repeat without the soap so your skin isn't irritated, and do your arms and face normal. That'll clear most of the spots where noticeable grime or body order comes from.
