Is it normal to be this messy/dirty?

Do not be upset by nasty comments made thus far. I know exactly what you're going through. Some of us are just not natural cleaners and have a high tollerance level for messyness.
This doesn't mean you're lazy or a bad person, it just means that you have more important things to do with your time.
However there are health risks involved - mold poisoning etc.
For many years I was living in the same conditions as yourself untill I got tired of people not wanting to come over for a visit.
Here's what I did: I saved up for three months, then hired a cleaning company to give the whole apartment a springclean and they got rid of all the mess and grossness. After seeing a definite improvement in my stresslevels and moods after the cleaning, I have tried to maintain as much as I can, but I still need them to come in once a month as I am still just as messy as before and when they come in they just bring me back to solid ground again.
The other thing you can try is to act like you are in somebody else's house when it comes to cleaning. Think about it this way : If your puppy made a mess in someone else's home would you just leave it there? No you would probably (i hope) clean it up immediately. You can apply this type of thinking to anything you do in the house that has to do with cleaning.

Good luck to you!!

You have MORE than enough time to clean. I know quite a few people who let their housekeeping go for quite a while, but it sounds like you have never cleaned? People still love them, but they judge them too and talk about it. One thing that makes me clean is i believe uncleanliness attracts negativity and causes irritation, depression, anxiety etc.

Ever seen that show buried alive? Take a day off and get your shit together.

If you spent as much time cleaning as you took to write that post and read these comments, your house might be in a better state.

A few minutes per day is all it takes to keep your house clean.
Letting it get as bad as you have will ultimately just lead to you spending one or more whole days at a time to clean everything up again.

I've lived by myself but I always found time to clean. I'd go to work and school and then come home and straighten up before eating and homework. Then on the weekend I do laundry, vacuum, mop, etc. It doesn't take much time if you keep it up. I guess my motivation is that I like to take pride in what is mine.

That is fucking disgusting! Clean up your damn apartment!
What if a hot girl wants to come in? What do you do? If you invite her in a pig pen, she will run away...
Seriously, clean up your room.

Sounds like a mixture of being junky and dirty

You're just fucking lazy. There's nothing philosophical about that.

Get up and clean your house. It's much easier to keep your place clean when you clean up right after you've dirtied something. It's called maintenance.

Your description of your house makes me feel a hell of a lot better about my place. I`m not very good at houswork.

Try to throw out useless materials just after their consumption:.-is a perfect solution for that.

Now, I'm guessing you don't have the time to clean up after yourself every minute of the day and I understand that but it looks as if you have no motivation what so ever.

Try getting out for the day and telling yourself that you are going to clean up. Make it your objective for the day. Go out and buy cleaning products and just progress by cleaning throughout the day. Maybe put some music on whilst doing it, I know that helps me.

In conclusion, get the motivation to do something otherwise it will affect you and your attitude in the future. Good luck.

I don't believe you're a bad person. I agree with Runswithscissors' comment. But I think maybe you should set aside a few hours a week for cleaning up a few things. The kitchen and bathroom specifically. And that includes everything that belongs in those places. Like your plates going back to the kitchen.

Once your kitchen and bathroom are clean, you could focus on your living room, bedroom, etc. Remember, you wouldn't want to put your health at risk.

Maybe a good friend or family member would even stop by to help if you asked. If you really want to have friends over, it'll be worth cleaning up. ☻

Stop asking about it and just tidy it you'll be surprised how you don't want it to go back to the way it was.... How can you not manage your time? You've got plenty of it.... Even if you just tidied like 2/3 a week you'd still have time to do all your work!!

It's not normal but I know a lot of similar people. I do not understand why anyone would want to live like that. It's not good to be that dirty, it's bad for your health and mind state. It does show that you are lazy at least with your cleaning. Honestly I hate going to anyone's house that's like that and will avoid going inside.

The way I keep things clean is I don't let it build up at all. When I have something to clean/throw away or I fuck something up, I deal with it then. For example I will get up and throw away my bottle soon as I'm done drinking it, or if I spill something I clean it up then. Don't let things pile up and stop fucking around.

Hahaha that sounds horribly disgusting.
I am a bit of a clean freak you could say and for me this isn't normal but I lived with a girl who wouldn't clean jack shit! So I voted normal, which I am now regretting because I know that it's not.
I'm being confusing.
I clean everyday, all day.
So no not normal.
Even though I voted normal.
Damn it.

You should get professional help, and I'm dead serious.

Fucking disgusting and trashy. Stop being lazy, you only have class 12 hours a week...

Nasty as hell and I cringed at your post.

You get a 10/10 if this is true.

eew!! You're normal!

Sounds like you are turning into a hoarder. I'm going to have sex with a man tonight.

Do you have depression or anxiety?
