People don't do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn't feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven't looked back since, it's so damn soothing!
Since I was a kid. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard talk about it. I guess I always thought it was super weird so i never told anyone.
Yeh. I’m Shocked here tbh. I feel like I’ve found my people. I was always told it was super weird too!
There are dozens of us!
Edit: Damn it, scrolled down and saw someone beat me to this. There are clearly too many of us.
Why can’t you both say it?
I used to straight up nap in the shower as a kid. My parents thought I was jerking off but I was legitimately just taking a power nap.
Dude. Same. I would sometimes make a little sleep mask out of a wash cloth.
I just let my parents think that. Somehow, yanking it seemed less weird.
Holy shit are we the same person?
Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That'll usually do the trick.
Exactly the same. Usually standing up, but if it's a really bad morning I sit down.
More often than not I also close the drain so it becomes a bath and suddenly I'm stewing in my own shame and regret.
Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.
The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.
Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.
Give it time.
I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol
Me too haha
Generally only when I'm hungover.
Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle
Yup, it's like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.
I haven’t done it in a while but when I did it was a way to relax and unwind a bit.
Now though I haven’t had the luxury of time to do so.
I recommend taking a moment to do it today ! Give yourself the pleasure.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I just sit right on the bathroom floor. Don't even care. I'm the one who cleans that bathroom, I know that shits clean, yanno?
If I'm sitting in the shower I'm probably in a depression spiral
:(
Try it when your feeling good. ✌️💛
Sure, best way to cry in the shower is in a heap in the tub.
Only when I'm sick, really.
Yeah I shi- Oh shower sitters. Uh yeah I sit in the shower sometimes, when life is just hard.
I‘m too fat and clumsy to comfortably sit down now, but before life fucked me this hard I definitely used to do that as well. Just really comfy somehow. Like sitting out in the rain, which I enjoy as well.
I used to. More of a kneeling kind of position though. No idea why I did it... Just did it once, must have liked it, did it the next day, and repeat.
Kneeling hey? That sounds painful!
I couldn't think of the word I was looking for when I wrote this. More of a crouch. IDK why I said kneel.
😅
Best way to unwind. Best way to get over a headache or hangover. I like to go from as hot as I can handle down to as cold as I can handle & alternate for as long as I feel I need. Magic.
It’s like the best combination of a shower and a bath! I also started when I was younger… I had to get up really early in the morning and the only way I could get myself out of bed was to lay down and basically sleep in the shower. It was soo relaxing but eventually woke me up enough for the day. I still do it sometimes when I really want to relax or am very tired.
Sometimes when everything gets too overwhelming I'll sit in the shower
It's relaxing but I lose track of time pretty easy and the amount of hot water I have is pretty limited
It seems like it would be calming. Though I feel the tub gets a bit gross for this.
Any chair recommendations for tubs? What about shower heads that work best to not drown you?
Don’t know chairs. I just sit cross legged on the floor. Madly the shouter head backs me to the side, find a sweet spot. And all good.
I had a real nasty shower in the house I lived in as a kid. It changed the way I see showers. The thought of sitting down in one. Ehh, it sends shivers down my spine. But you do you. If you like it you like. Also, I first misread the title as shower shitters and, the first line of the description made me think you were going to talk about dropping a log down the drain pipe.
That’s my next post.
