Is it normal not to make my bed or do my dishes/washing when I'm alone?

  • Opposite here. Wasn't allowed to clean growing up, had to live in some very disgusting filth. Now that I live alone I love doing the dishes and I have got in the habit of making my bed. Mainly it's good for mental health reasons. But, I don't really do much "self care" if I'm alone. Things like showering, changing your clothes and brushing your teeth are more of a courtesy to social peers.

    • So you were raised by hoarders?

      • Basically, but not as bad as what you see on the tv show. there was definitely some form of ocd in the mix. Ironically germaphobia, which i guess did not apply to the house itself. Sometimes I would sneakily clean while they were out, and felt the need to use gloves and a mask it was that gross.
