Why would it take longer to shower? More hair?
Yes, also depending on the person, shaving their body.
God It takes so long
More self care
People should engage in more self-care already. Taking care of yourself is important for health and happiness.
Yes, and it's especially important to do so when you feel like you don't want to/it feels hard to do so! The more often you beat that low-energy feeling the easier it becomes to beat it
Needed this reminder. Thank you.
As if teenage boys don't spend absurd amounts of time in the shower.
It's clean, dude. You can stop.
Yeah but it needs just a little more polishing.
shower warm and cozy
I do take slightly longer to wash my hair since it's long now, but that's not the real reason I spend much longer in the shower. The real reason is that it's warm and relaxing in there.
It wasn't warm and relaxing before transitioning?
It was but I didn't much like being naked and seeing my naked body back then, gave dysphoria :(
Oh, that makes sense! It's more pleasant because you're comfortable in your own skin.
If wasting water wasn't a concern, I swear I'd have stayed in the shower until I mutated gills.
Some days the thing that ultimately stops me is running out of hot water.
Yes
