Where did proper hygiene go nowadays?

i just wash my hands a lot, it’s actually really good for your skin, i have baby hands pretty much

Alright for people thinking that this person may not have a shower or running water at home, my town is literally based around a river. BATHE IN THE DAMN RIVER :broken_heart::broken_heart:

wesree would you be comfortable bathing naked in the middle of the woods

yes

i didn’t anticipate a response for this

I always respond pal.

i mean THAT response

well the real question is who wouldn’t? like im connecting with nature man…

what if a random hiker found you bathing would you not be incredibly uncomfortable

Okay so I was one of these “I wasn’t told I had to use deodorant, but I showered everyday” kids in 6th grade.

Fact is, a lot of kids don’t know their meant to start using deodorant. Some are just… too depressed to even get up in the morning. I don’t judge someone who has this problem, because I know sometimes it can run a lot deeper than just “they don’t bathe.”

One of my friends knows I struggle with depression, and as a result, I often don’t brush my teeth because the need to SH can overwhelm the need to just clean myself.

Whenever I have a sleepover with this friend, they’d keep my eyes off of the mirror so I don’t start hating my body. They even help me brush my teeth if I’m spiraling too much.

Don’t just judge, people. Be a friend, a guiding hand for those that may need it.

I’d be hesitant because river water can be COLD.
Once I got past that, though, it’d be fine.

nope! i let it dangle anyhow… they call me a free baller

hypothermia cold for you is lukewarm for me

That can’t be good for you.

yes sadly, the main flaw is that i’ll melt into a puddle above 5 degrees

Yes, but depression can take them in certain holds. You can’t let your own preferences guide how you view someone who may be struggling. If it’s a real problem, subtly and in a non-harmful way mention it. I’m sure they are well aware of the problem, but don’t be rude about it. Kindness is a preferred method for a reason.

Also, rude joke to people with depression smh
