Folks that never shower or bathe, why? (lemmus.org)

I have a few acquaintances that have developed quite a funk. I'm afraid to ask if they think they don't reek or if they have reasons that are more important to them.

I know there's research that supports bathing much less than once per day but this is different. Obviously none in months or years. Lemmers that don't ever shower or bathe, what's your reasoning? Thanks for your insight!

I totally understand that angle and I'm sorry you ever felt that way. I'm no stranger to depression and I know it's possible seem "fine" while struggling greatly. Maybe that's all it is but I hate to think my friends are struggling that bad without talking to me about it. I'm pretty close with two of them. We talk about that kind of stuff and they haven't said they're so sad they can't shower. Pretty sure it's a conservation issue, or maybe a sensory issue. Hmmm
