Why do people hate taking showers in the first place? Is this a meme that just gets perpetualized online or do people actually feel that?
I hate them because I work 12 hour shifts and so I have very little time to myself at the end of the day. But what I hate even more is smelling like shit. So I figured out that if I buy a water resistant Bluetooth speaker and listen to podcasts in the shower, suddenly I don't feel like I'm cutting into my limited freetime as much anymore.
That said, if some technology came out that automatically bathes you while you sleep, I'd be an early adopter.
So in your case it’s less around the shower and more around available time. Do you feel the same about eating and other “daily tasks”?
Not OP, but yeah...
There are a few mental/neurological conditions that lead to a big adversion against ordinary recurring tasks.
(In my case it's PDA; but it's something that I see across multiple neurodivergent spectrums, as well as in people with depression)
