About the shower argument, I agree with Connor and we are so often told to save water and by showering every day? Not so much water saving in my eyes lol.

The issue with the shower argument is that it’s so subjective to the climate, activities and what you actually do when you shower or don’t shower. Rinse off with just water or all cleaning products, no shower but with deodorant, personal sweat levels? Either shower once a day or once every few days it doesn’t hurt anyone just circumstantial and up to personal preference ultimately

[@Nescio_Gravissime]

Yea, there's also the aspect of the individuals skin as well, some people are more oily and/or sweaty than others naturally, and there's some that aren't. There's also people with varying types and degrees of severity of eczema and dry skin as well and showering every day can make dry skin and eczema so so much worse in which case every 2-3 days can be the ideal as long as the rest of their hygiene is also good

[@SheWhoWalksSilently]

I would like to inform people that when I tell a similar story that happened to me in response to a friend telling a story, it’s so I can communicate that I understood the story and understand their struggle. I find that way of communication comforting when it happens the other way, so I’m trying to give people comfort. It’s also definitely a feature of neurodivergent communication, as it is apparently common with ADHD folk, such as myself.

[@starfuryduck3446]

I have a friend that does that. I appreciate her gesture for doing that, but it grinds my gears to my core. Don't get me wrong, she's an amazingly talented person. But for me it doesn't help that people tell me that they have had a "similar experience" because often times one: it's not even the same and two: I cannot relate to that specific situation which was presented to me and it kind of makes me feel like my situation was being mocked for it not being a big deal, when I was basically trying to share something very deep. I never told her, but this is definitely a pet peeve of mine.

[@furuyawn]

when i got to that section i was like "oh wait shit do people find that annoying??" because that's exactly the reason i do it, too 🥲

[@lynda.grace.14]

It has been my repeated experience that the people who don't find it comforting or don't appreciate that you have shared a similar struggle are often narcissists who really hate that they are not the star of their own woes and complaints which are their raison d'etre. You're stealing their glory-time. But, as I read the thread below (@starfuryduck3446) I can understand how it would be annoying if the same person seemed to be demeaning their experience by sharing something they found unrelated to their original story. Ultimately, people experience the world and the responses they receive from others differently. Unless they communicate that--especially in a situation like a marriage--to each other, the relationship will likely fail.

Others who have shared their grief/woe/experience do not count and they do not wish to know about it.

[@clausbrink9316]

in terms of showering and sleep etc. if you wash your hair when you shower, you're only supposed to do it every 2-3 days, as the natural oils of your hair gets washed out and leaves your scalp dry etc. if you wash your hair too much, its fine to shower without washing your hair. Also, you do sleep better after showering. Your natural body temperature rises while being under the hot water, and the drastic change in body temperature as it goes back down is a sign for your body to sleep, so you have an easier time sleeping after a shower. Fun fact: If you drink a glass of water before going to bed, you have an easier time waking up earlier in the morning.

@@starfuryduck3446 washing your hair too often can dry your scalp out, but that is a pretty individual thing, hes not completely wrong on that. i for that matter have a dry scalp and the only thing that helps are specific shampoos. and hes right on the sleeping part, your body does drop the core temperature when you go to sleep and showering helps on that. no pseudosience here bud. use the new found knowledge to your advantage.

I genuinely believe that you don't need to wash your hair everyday and that is a bad habit of mine (I shampoo and condition every day) but if I don't do it my hair gets SUPER greasy and gross. Seriously if I leave my hair without washing it for more than one day it gets this super shiny, greasy look that just looks like I don't shower.

[@alix7657]

I agree with Conner you don’t need to shower everyday nor should society mandate and shame those who don’t shower every single day. Showering every day does increase your chances of drying up your skin and so if you have a condition like eczema (which I have) it can cause breakouts. Even if you don’t have skin conditions I have yet to meet a single doctor that recommends everyday showers as the default if as Connor said you didn’t do anything to necessitate it. So I shower 4 times a week and if I happen to do something that made me dirty or smelly or sweaty then I will shower additional times but I don’t support making everyday showers the default.

[@Malphas_]

it entirely depends on where you live, if you live in a country that has good weather then yes maybe you don't need to

[@lynda.grace.14]

Plus you can target stinky bits with spot washing letting the skin in other areas or your hair (depending on what kind of hair you have) which don't need washing avoid drying out excessively. It also depends on the level of your activity. Some days you don't work up a sweat--say if you are writing all day.

I said i don't want to play that way, and asked if i could just not be in that competition and play normally. My score at the end of the weekend was -12 or -16. Literally only 1 other person had less than -3. And everybody noticed that. After that it was just awkward. We would have more fun if we just played normally. After all nobody even mentioned the scoreboard and rewards because how depressing it looked

It's all about the washing stuff you use - just rinsing yourself with water after e.g. a run is totally fine, and you can do it as many times as you want. In summer it is literally the only way of surviving if you do some something physical. But yeah, washing with cleaning products should be limited - because they are the ones dangerously exposing and drying out the skin.

​@@TheLo5raan acquaintance of mine literally got skin problems due to showering every day, his dermatologist had to give him special soaps and drill into him not to shower that much. Do you also pretend that your coworkers should carry a razor at work so they can shave during their lunch break to avoid the 5 o'clock shadow? It's not like not showering for a single day turns you into a swamp creature, it's very gradual and washing every couple of days if fine to stay above that threshold.

1. Green - I don't need to know the life story of my co-workers just keep it to work related. 2. Beige - A friendly neighbor is great and super helpful and with good relationship you might develop team bonds when comes to mowing lawns, gardening or bins out on time and checking out if the other person is okay all without ever getting too personal or even stepping inside the house. Red Flag: Is from being too annoying or having a ulterior motivate for it. 3. Green - Friendly Banter is fine and hopefully they can receive it just as they give it. 4. Green - Somebody needs to take charge of the group but hopefully it rotates in time but if your submissive or care free you probably don't mind following anyway. 5. Red - Once your shift ends go home and have a rest and don't spend hours for unpaid work. 6. Beige - It's good if the friend cares enough to offer advice and hopefully it benefits you and makes your life better. Red is when it becomes a constant lecture and annoying. 7. Green - Open and honest is great and hopefully you made friends that respect and understand that information and will never treat it as gossip or something minor. 8. Green - Once again same as 3 - If you give it you have to expect it back. 9. Green - Lets be honest we hate getting our routine broken both in Life + Work but humans would be stuck in spiral of lacking invitation or evolve if we didn't have these Hit or Miss types of people that shake up the industry they often are either the Genius or the Failure but least they tried to change the system. 10. Green - It might be annoying having somebody act positive when your angry or upset in the moment but usually when you look back - The positive person was correct but its hard to see it from the dark hole you was in at time. 11. Green - This one bit complicated but hopefully you communicated the (Your Interests) so you can share activities so it evens out or better yet find a Mixed one that adds both. 12. Beige - Time and Place for competitive 13. Green - I don't care if these Brands want to post Memes and appeal to a younger generations 14 Green - School uniforms are for identification which still has purpose both for Missing People and Assisting the law against wayward youths easy to ID the culprit 15. Green - Fine with tone shifts. 16. Green - Fine long as i'm payed back eventually. 17. Green - If new friend want to hang out early that's great its better to learn about them sooner and truly work out the friendship with them are they possible Best? Good? or just Friend. 18. Red - Brush your teeth, shower, antiperspirant, clean clothes - Everyday when in public - However Connor is right if you spend all day indoors you can probably shower every 2nd day the roll on antiperspirant usually last 24 - 48 hours before you notice strong BO depending on how much you exercised.

[@red2745]

I really can't agree with the opinion that 'you should be as open with your friend as they are with you', its a VERY varied statement; they may be incredibly personal about information and/or events in their life that have happened, but you shouldn't be expected to reciprocate that openess. I would definitely argue it not being green flag. I would feel uncomfortable if my friend expected me to open up just because they had opened up to me

[@michaelmaguire4147]

35:34 Having just recently left a job working at a supermarket chain; The problem is coming from both ends. On the one hand, it is very much a thing that most people really have no sense of pride in their work anymore. I personally have a hang-up about "doing things correctly," and so I was pretty much the only one in the department who cared about the quality of the work. Of course, the other end of the problem is that, in general, people aren't paid enough to care.

[@jasonjasso666]

27:13 Although 100% of my close relationships are like this, I still disagree with the specifics that you’re “supposed to” make fun of your friends, otherwise you won’t be close. I haven’t met someone like this personally, but if for example I had a friend that was a lot more sensitive because of trauma or something like that (obviously a lot of people with trauma can still take jokes, but there are those that almost can’t) then although I may not be able to interact with them how I usually do with other people, it doesn’t mean our bond is lesser. Obviously they would be my friend for a reason. What if their life experiences closely overlaps with my experiences? We could bond about that, I mean everyone has parts of themselves that not even their closest friends can relate to on such a level. Also, you could easily just get that fix of mocking for laughs with the rest of your friends, it’s not like one person who can’t take such jokes will hinder your ability to do that entirely. All in all people are different, just ‘cause most of us act a certain way doesn’t mean it’s necessary a better way at being, the exceptions allow that to not be the case. I’ll end this by clarifying I’m not trying to attack the boys on this matter, this is just my take on the argument presented by them. EDIT - 27:54 If the friend group doesn’t mind that dynamic then all power to them, but I know people who sometimes act like this and gotta say, not a huge fan. I personally live by you give what you can take, with the people you know of course. Again, it’s up to others to determine the healthiest dynamic for their own friendships, my personal rules of friendship be damned.

[@kairos_fluent]

My two cents is that friends can make of you *IF* they also show genuine affection and warm feelings to you as well. If you're friends with someone and they just banter/sarcastic then it's not a very satisfying friendship because they don't let you get close and it's insulting/disrespectful.

[@OnchiBon]

In my friend group it's totally normal to make fun of each other but we all have different levels of "scrutiny" we can take or like to dish out with different people. There are people in my close friend group that I consider some of my absolute favorite people and with some of them we do make fun of each other and with others we don't. Us only being affectionate and supportive and rarely ever being mean to another doesn't make the friendship less than. In fact the friendships I value the most personally are the ones where the teasing is held at a minimum and we can just be open about our affection for one another. I take the largest step back whenever I get introduced into a new circle and they immediately start making fun of me or things I say. It takes a degree of trust for me to accept teasing and my friends absolutely know what I'm okay with and what I'm not okay with. Similarly I take note of people's reaction when they are made fun of and I make an effort to even things out when I feel like the teasing is turning into bullying.

Others I know feel the need to shower constantly regardless of sweat, and others I think could use more showering and less body spray.

[@konvron]

I think they were arguing different levels. Obviously you don't want the scenario you laid out. But a person can still be positive, assuring you, nurturing you, making sure you're taken care of with words or with actions. I would say that's positive.

[@YightLagami]

It depends what you mean, but I prefer people who are positive in terms of trying not to be down when upset. If someone shares something sad, showing support for them and being positive for being with them is good. The way you used it shows as bad.

So I used to assume the same for others and always try to give them neutral, more "logical" reasons to comfort them when they get into arguments with someone else and /or get pissed. Until one time my friend straight up stopped me and said "Ik you are trying to be logical and all but it doesn't help at all you IDIOT. Just Listen to my f-ing problems and at least pretend to feel the same way when I'm F-ING PISSED!!". She really changed the way I look into it. They prefer a listener over an advisor in that moment

[@tuntsa]

Cultures are so different man. In my country we don't call anyone sir or madam etc. Everyone calls everyone by their first names except maybe in very professional settings and military. This is why it is so weird to me if a country has an age hierarchy for what to call people. It's not like I don't respect my elders and teachers even tho I call them by their first name.

[@Nerunah]

1:21:11 Interesting to see how it totally differs from my culture. In Russia (and some other post-soviet countries) we call our teachers by their first name+patronymic. In private conversation between students we often can call them by their last names, or use abbreviation, e.g. "Elizaveta Alekseevna" - "EA". However nowadays, outside of school, many young (18-35) private tutors prefer to be called only by their first name. But it should be full "passport" name, e.g. you can't just call Elizaveta - Liza, or Alexey - Lyosha, the latter are nicknames, which are often used in family/friends relationships, or an older person may call a younger one that way, not the other way around. In fact, we use name+patronymic not only for teachers, for almost everyone who's older or has more authority than you. But as I got older, I actually start prefering to call someone older than me just by their first name, it feels more like we're almost on the same level, while still respectful and professional enough. Idk how to describe it. It's like, I'm not in a school anymore, and not a child, I don't have to grovel and tremble in front of someone only because they're older. It's not like I don't respect someone's authority, but name+patronymic get me back to my school mindset that I don't want to remember. (We have a whole pronoun for adressing elders and strangers, which should be enough respectful, but it's another big topic.) Also it's hard sometimes to remember and pronounce everyone's father's names and not to mix it up. Sounds stupid, but it's just my pshycological thing. 😇 Though, I wouldn't call only by the first name that often, because all our traditions around respecting the elder is suuuper crazy, one mistake - and you're dead. Unfortunately the gap between generations is HUGE, sometimes to the point of absurdity.

[@AHeroWith1000Names]

I feel for you, I remember how that elder respect culture led me to being too shy to even address my (rather young) aunt by ты when I was a kid, kept вы'ing at her and none of the adults around even bothered to tell me 'She's your aunt kid, she's a close relative'💀 As a young adult, it feels refreshing that many senior not-old folks are not only cool with first name in formal form, but that they even prefer it, and many are cool with going by ты. I even had 2 ladies on the older side get triggered after asking for their patronymic (a bad habit I keep falling into sometimes because of my politeness), one of them went 'Do I look THAT old?' bruh ☠ The crazy thing is, I'm all for abolishing the hegemony of patronymics with seniors, yet I'm the first to get my social gears screeching in this dynamic when I call a person 20-40 years older than me by their formal first name only, even when it's what *they* ask for -- the ingrainment goes hard!

[@cloudycloudi631]

"a friend can't stop offering advice." me and my friend groups kind of have a way to get around this problem. If someone is about to vent about their problems, they'll make it clear beforehand, or someone will ask, do you want a solution, or you just want us to be here.
