Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

So, as a child, specifically pre puberty or during puberty I was basically in total self isolation and not interested for anything, and I even neglected my hygiene and showered once a week. Well today I'm trying my best to do at least bare minimum and shower every day, or maybe sometimes skip a day. But I still sometimes feel like I am dirty and like I stink no matter how much I clean myself and how much deodorant and parfume I apply. Idk what to do.

Just fyi, it isn't really considered very healthy and necessary to shower every day (unless you have specific reason, like work in a dirty environment). It'll dry out your skin which can lead to more serious conditions.

Regardless, if you think you can't stop cleaning yourself, that may be reason to talk to someone about it off the internet.
