I haven't showered in 3 years

13% Normal

I'm serious. I never go out with friends because I don't have any and I live with my mom. I'm 27 years old, my room stinks but I got used to the smell. On the rare occasion I go out Ill put on deodorant and I also wash my hands often but I just don't shower. My mom tries go make me but then I just sit in the bathroom with the water running for 10 mind then dampen a towel. Im not afraid of showering I just literally care so little about it it isn't worth going through the pain in the ass of getting wet washing and drying off. I wasn't always like this, i just ran out of fucks to give about anything since my gf of 6 years dumped me 3 years ago. (No it wasn't because I didn't shower, this didn't begin until after she dumped me)

  I never shower just to shower. Sometimes making the water temperature just perfect makes it relaxing and refreshing. If i don't shower for a while it'll eventually make me feel (and smell) like crap

  Maybe you'll feel more lonely because the flies will no longer keep you company. Jk it's good I guess but keep it up.

  i dont know why your girlfriend broke up with you, but if it was her own dumb reason then you have nothing to worry about
  
  and if it was your fault, then you can change and be better :)
  
  it really depends on the reason, cause sometimes in a case, a person can make it sound like your fault, when really you're doing nothing wrong
  
  but of course it depends :P

  That's amazing!! You might not feel different, but now people will not shun you on the bus or wrinkle their noses and walk away! You will have more of a chance of making friends (not just online) and and you have some chance of getting a job!! If you keep clean, people will be more likely to give you a chance in life to make things better, even if they aren't better yet... it's a first baby-step on the ladder to 'better'. Well done!!

You sound deeply depressed. It's time to get some professional help and talk a shower or a bath with lots of soap and water! It won't kill you to get clean. Sorry, but most people don't generally like others who smell bad.

  Professional help is something that costs money, of which I have none.

    I see what you're saying. Maybe you could try to find out if there are some charitable organizations that offer free therapy or therapy at a reduced or sliding scale rate.
    
    You know you're only hurting yourself when you don't bathe on a regular basis. At least try to take a shower once a week and then gradually take more showers or baths if you really can't stand it. I know it broke your heart to lose a six year relationship, but you're just punishing yourself by not taking care of your personal hygiene. If you don't fight to care for and improve yourself you are letting the ex who hurt you win.

I don't shower as much as normal people maybe like once a week or.. two... three? It's just like all the basic needs I find it boring and I'd rather be doing something else. Same with leaving the house, I don't have agoraphobia, I just don't want to go outside because it's takes away from me time, maybe it's my antisocial and introvert nature.

Also I don't know what 3 years would do to someone, but some people actually don't smell like other people.

It's not called "ran out of fucks to give"....It's called depression.

  He and the itch have become fused into a single entity. There is no more distinction. He cannot scratch his own self away.

  Nope. I keep my hands clean for health reasons but other than that I don't feel dirty as long as I change clothes.

During huge depression I were taking showers once a month just because I wasn't able to suffer my smell if I don't. But that was fixed.

I assume this is a troll post. Otherwise, there seems to be some psychological aspect to it in the sense that you don't know how to take care of yourself or maybe unknowingly crying for help. When I was a kid, I had a lot of family issues and I barely brushed my teeth over a two year span. My mom was an alcoholic and I had been abused in more ways than one by a family member(s). I guess it was some way for me to ask for help.

Knowing next to nothing about your situation, all I can say is that you should shower regularly. You should try to care about yourself even when you feel nothing about it. If you're at a point in your life where you need to set a bi weekly alarm to shower, then do it. You might as well if you really don't care that much. You're not doing it for anyone but you and your health at that point - that takes internal motivation. So yeah, give yourself that cheer when you summon the will. Measure progress by how you're doing, not how you think you should be doing. Good luck.

If you don't start caring now, when will you start? I think it's about time to change, buddy. Think over what I've said.
Atleast think about taking a shower once a week or once a month. I usually shower every 1-7 days, or longer if I'm just not feeling up to it. Being younger, I showered every month. Try more.
