The Time You Take in the Shower Says a lot about You

If you are one of those people who spends hours in the bathroom, specifically showering, then you must be going through some things in life.

The way you actually bathe does say a lot about you as an individual. Is it normal to take a shower for more than 1 hour and you are still at No! You’re probably facing so much that the only place you can run to is the shower to relax your mind and find consolation, if there’s any.

I’ll take you through your mental state. Research says that both the length and temperature of your shower have effects similar to those of social interactions.

There’s a quote that goes around saying that “the lonelier a person is, the more showers and baths they take.”

There’s actually nothing bad with showering; it’s just that at times it is not normal to spend hours there.

Taking hot showers and staying there for a long time does actually help because it makes you feel a bit like you are being embraced, sort of like a hug.

Loneliness can be defined as a distress that results from discrepancies between ideal and perceived social relationships—the aspect of being you and not having company or anyone you can confide in.

People more often feel lonely when they are disappointed by the social interactions that they may have experienced or failed at something; it triggers their emotions. As people react differently to pain, there are those who knock things out or take it out on others and those who deal with it calmly.

The truth is, the longer you stay under the water, the longer you take to stew in your own worries and mull over everything and anything that is concerning you. This leads to overthinking, something many of us try to avoid because we know it plays havoc with our mental health.

Having short showers is advisable; they should actually come automatically because you are busy running late somewhere, you have a partner you need to be with, and you hardly stay there for long.

Consider socializing with people. Don’t always lock yourself up; go out there and have fun. This will save you the trouble of always wanting to source a consolation that you would have created yourself.
