| So I guess my question is is it not normal or weird that I really only try to shower more often because of knowing that showers are easy and only take a few minutes? It is not normal in the sense that most people probably decide how often to shower based on habit and social concerns. Your hygiene i... |

| Like I said, for some reason I don't feel dirty or gross or unclean like people typically do when they don't shower so therefore I don't think I am and so don't take one because I don't feel it's necessary to take one. (even when others say I do) But what does help me try to take one more often is ... |

| How normal is it to shower because it's quick rather than because doing so gets you clean? Probably more normal than many think. In modern fast-paced societies built around efficiency and conformity, it's hard to see that most of us probably do most of what we do because it's both efficient and con... |

| It depends on the person. For some, it lasts 24 hours. For others, it lasts 48. For me, a 24-hour formula tends to last me 48 hours. Shouldn't it be used every day? Yeah, I would say so. Also, could you answer this question for me please? I just can't can't stop thinking about it... How normal is i... |

Yeah, it probably does depend. |

| How normal is it though that if I did shower everyday or maybe sometimes every other day, it would be because "it only takes a few minutes", rather than because I see the need and feel dirty or gross? (which I for some reason I just don't, I can't help it). I'm way more likely to be willin... |

| Hi Hey There, I'm glad you've decided to take showers. It's cool that you did that :D When I was a kid, I used to only shower once a week until I was 14. Then, I started smelling, so I showered more often. Nowadays, I have to shower every day; otherwise I feel dirty. And my eyes start stinging. I d... |

| I shower once a day (or sometimes once every other day). But since most deodorants don't work for more than 48 hours, you will start smelling, although, you wont notice it yourself, since you are so used to it. I think it is very unpolite to not shower (like i don't wanna sit next to someone on the... |

| As they say, you can't make someone care about something they don't care about. (my parents have tried, but failed every time). They could with me, usually by the idiosyncratic method of first letting me know how much it is in my best interest, and then making it hard , so I actually have to strugg... |

| That is your choice but don't forget there are consequences. My ex always liked wearing his trench coat and he didn't seem to care why he should have to take it off. it would be 90 degrees out and he would sweat and he would start smelling and people would move away. He hated that so he always comp... |
