Since I was a kid. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard talk about it. I guess I always thought it was super weird so i never told anyone.

Yeh. I’m Shocked here tbh. I feel like I’ve found my people. I was always told it was super weird too!
There are dozens of us!
Damn it, scrolled down and saw someone beat me to this. Deleting. Which is a weird thing to jabs to explain. But things don't get deleted here in a normal way.
Why can’t you both say it?

I had an ex-gf that would sit down for showers when possible, and sometimes fall asleep lol
Me too haha
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I just sit right on the bathroom floor. Don't even care. I'm the one who cleans that bathroom, I know that shits clean, yanno?
I too sit on the floor. Legs crossed.
I don’t want to clean the floor.
Them chemicals getting all up inside me!
I’d worry they will burn haha.
Lemmy needs a hide option. I am not a shower sitter but I do not want to downvote to get it off my feed. You guys will now live at the top of my feed out of respect for your life choices.
Thankyou for the honour. 🙏
I used to do it a lot, but now that I share my shower with my roommate, I think it’s kind of gross, so I stopped. But it was nice, I really enjoyed it, especially with some good music.
I also did it while I was in Japan, since the bathroom layouts over there allow for showering while sitting and then simmering in the bath tub.
Sometimes when everything gets too overwhelming I'll sit in the shower
It's relaxing but I lose track of time pretty easy and the amount of hot water I have is pretty limited
When my nerve pain rose to the point that I lost the use of my leg, I invested in a shower chair.
Now that I'm rehabilitated, I still use the shower chair because it's absolutely delightful to just chill with good posture in the warm shower.
I broke my hip and was touch-weight bearing for nine months. The NHS provided a shower stool but after a few months I just hopped into the shower, I found standing on one leg preferrable to sitting down.
Best way to unwind. Best way to get over a headache or hangover. I like to go from as hot as I can handle down to as cold as I can handle & alternate for as long as I feel I need. Magic.

Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.

You don't want to know how I misread that title. 😶
Yeah I shi- Oh shower sitters. Uh yeah I sit in the shower sometimes, when life is just hard.
I always sit down in the shower. Always. Pretty good feeling. In fact, I just did it, 5-10 minutes ago.
I’m doing it right now. 💛
Lemmy-ing in the shower? Good one.
Sometimes you just gotta sit, it’s relaxing, it’s not quite a full bath scenario but not quite a shower, a nice middle
Yeah, I do it occasionally. Bad headache or hangover. That'll usually do the trick.
Exactly the same. Usually standing up, but if it's a really bad morning I sit down.
More often than not I also close the drain so it becomes a bath and suddenly I'm stewing in my own shame and regret.
Generally only when I'm hungover.
Yes. Often. I love it, it feels…. Safe? Same as you, started doing at as a part of the hangover ritual; now I do it a couple times a week. It’s relaxing. Head hanging down, warm water dripping down my nose. Comfy.
I would but I don't think I'll fit on the floor in a sitting position. Our shower is too small

Both my knees need replacing and my left hip is shot at too I have a shower seat so that I can shower when they hurt. I do find it's relaxing and many a time I've been close to falling asleep
I’ve fallen asleep too often. I always worry I’d drown. But hasn’t happened yet. 🤷♂️
Love it! I’ve never done it unless I’m feeling really sick or really sad, but it’s so nice—why not every day?
People don't do this sometimes??? I enjoy doing this as often as possible. I started doing it when I had some headaches and didn't feel like bending backwards (tall guy problems in a small shower) so I would just sit and let the water flow over me like I was being blessed by the water gods of headache removal. Haven't looked back since, it's so damn soothing!
The place I moved into recently has a seat built into the shower.
Yup, it's like meditation for me. Helps me unwind.
Sitting in the shower is my daily decompression ritual after work. I have no idea when it started but it usually leads me to waste a lot of water.
