Dude, I'm shaving! Shaving my face and everywhere else I need. Also brushing my teeth. Still doesn't take 30 but it feels good to be hot water my god. Just like a bath or hot tub. Why rush?
I listen to music while in the shower. My playlist is kind of l large, okay?
Staring into nothingness etc is literally what you're doing in there, so you answered the question. But I don't think the questioner misunderstood anything or was accusing you of anything, they just wondered why it takes you so long.
I zone out and feel like I’ve been in there for hours, then I exit and it’s been eight minutes. I don’t understand why, but the shower completely removes my perception of time (normally one of my better skills). Luckily, it doesn’t go the other way.
I don't know what it is for other people, but I am hypersensory, so I am basically catatonic 90% of the time in the shower.
I have always been extremely sensitive to like, everything.
I used to get abused by my father for being "too sensitive" about almost anything, emotionally, physically, etc. So I did what any "real man" would do, and masked, masked masked. Spent decades of my life forcing myself to be hard, be strong, push through discomfort, show no pain, no emotions, no sensitivity.
As one might imagine, it didn't do me well in the long run. I was only recently diagnosed as autistic, I haven't told anyone outside my partner, as nobody would understand, the mask is glued on now, this is just me. A shell on the outside and a hidden universe inside. The long showers are total oblivion and I wish I could just stay in that water stream for days without end.

The scalding water serves as a moderately acceptable substitute for the warmth of human contact I’m so terrible at cultivating.
Great time for a quick fap!
Just the one? You have to pump those numbers up!
The water is terrible for friction
Yay for foreskin! Also, how does wanking in the shower deserve down-votes? Is it due to other people waiting to get in the shower? Waste of hot water?
That's what conditioniare is for, but agree, sexy stuff in water is a turn off for me.

Someone hasn't heard the stories about jizz clogging shower drains.

Hot water on skin is comforting and calming like few other things. If I could work from the shower I probably would.
We have the technology
not actually NSFW but hiding:
I used to stare off into nothingness in the shower. It would take maybe 7-8 minutes to actually wash myself; sporadically throughout the process, I'd zone out for a couple minutes at a time.
Now, I've got long curly hair that needs frequent tending to. Unless I want my showers to be an hour+ long, I gotta stay focused. I still stare off into nothingness while brushing and whatnot, that helps take away the dread.
sporadically throughout the process, I'd zone out for a couple minutes at a time.
Same. And when I come back to the present, I will sometimes lose track of what was washed already because I was on autopilot/dissociating before stopping to stare at nothing.

Came to say this!
Thick, curly waist-length hair requires that I be in there. God help me if I want to do a second pass at it.
the noise of the shower is the only thing that drowns out the tinnitus i've had for over 20 years. so yea, i'm often in there til the water goes cold.
I wonder if there are any bathhouses with waterfalls.

I do it to wake up. I am a boulder. Hard to get started but cannot stop until I drop when I do.
Well at least you're the boulder. I'm definitely Sisyphus, because it's always stupid hard to start, and about when I think I've accomplished something it rolls all the way back down and I have to restart it all again. Just with less energy and hope than before.
Honestly, I just zone out for a bit. Especially during the winter it's nice to have warm water pouring over you
