i did this for four years until i realized i was just showering on hard mode
Kids are great. Mine spend 5-10 minutes refusing to do a two minute task.
Kind of like how I spend three or four days avoiding a ten minute phone call.
I am currently on month 6 of not calling the dentist about a painful tooth
Not the flex you think it is lol
Seriously, get your teeth fixed. It’s such a huge impact on your quality of life, especially later in life when that damage really starts to affect your eating habits or self confidence
Not to mention, you could literally fucking die from a tooth infection if left untreated.
I wouldn’t call it a flex. But sometimes openly admitting something even to strangers on the Internet can offer some ownership of the situation and start someone headed the right direction.
Yeah I was mostly joking. With a bit of good advice sprinkled on top
“dinner is ready in two minutes”
Two minutes later, dinner ready
“but I just started a new game!”
🙄
4 days… I’ve been avoiding some phone calls for straight up 3 years now, the people probably think im dead.
If this isnt fake op may actually be on the spectrum. Washing yourself with the sink Is also called a catwash.
been plenty of times i ve been way to overtimulated to handle a full shower its much more manageable to wash and dry hair and body parts separately one by one.
Op learned what many autistic people do. Inventing an alternative method while masking it into the socially acceptable method.
It’s also called a whore bath. He might just be a whore.
A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with ‘English as a second language’ students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a ‘horse bath’ in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he’d misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.
Reminds me of a snippet of conversation I overheard at the grocery. Kid’s talking to their mom and yells “child prostitution, ever heard of it?” She was pissed.
I’m constantly amazed at the variety of possible human sensory differences.
My problem is not spending the whole day in the shower.
The white noise aspect of the shower is amazing. Have you ever turned off the lights and just stood under the water in the dark? It’s pretty great, in my opinion.
This is a right of passage. Growing up there are times when you find out that the easy way to go about doing something is the way your parents were trying to pound into your head all along
Rite* of passage
Write-off passage
some of ye all were just highly regarded
I first read that as highly retarded, and thought it was a bit excessive.
There’s a reason you read it that way
