    Default Can NTs (particularly Gamma) go days without having a wash...

    ...and feel comfortable with it? Could you go to work or to a lecture not having had a shower or having washed?

    It's probably more of a guy thing than a gamma thing.

    I don't think so. I know plenty of guys who can't do this, including me.

    It is certainly not a quadra thing.

    Okay, is not washing etc. a Si thing? Basically, can I have Si PoLR if I couldn't stand not washing at least once a day when there is a shower available?

    I think it is related to Si; however, I think EIEs can have Si PoLR and worry a lot about washing. LIEs are more likely to go the way you described.

    Normally I wash every day; however, I have done backpacking trips where I went for 3 days without washing. Not that I enjoyed it; but neither did it bother me that much.

    Most guys who work on building sites for instance won't wash in the mornings.

    Maybe it depends on what your having to do, where you are also possibly being able to establish a routine. If having a routine has something to do with it, perhaps thats type related?

    I've become ever increasingly aware of the need to take at least one shower within every 12 hours. My body feels so much different if I don't.

    Be sure to use a light shampoo (I use just the baby shampoo, johnson and johnson), if you're washing your hair (or rather scalp) a lot.

    I certainly can't. I have to shower everyday, and generally feel yuk if I don't. A nice hot shower is also my way of waking up.

    For some reason I could see ENTp or INTp going to work without a shower more likely than ENTj or INTj. I have no idea why and whether this is true. Anyways I wouldn't say shower is an Alpha NT vs Gamma NT thing.

    Honestly I've historically often been less concerned with that sort of thing than your average person, but the only times I ever went too long was when I was completely exhausted or depressed (maybe they're one in the same?). And then it would sort of bother me. I'd think about how I should take a shower, but it just sounded like sooooo much work, so I'd decide to do it later... and the days would sort of blur together sometimes, so I'd end up putting it off longer than I should have.

    These days I typically shower every other day and wash my face twice a day.

    That would be an Alpha thing, not a Gamma.

    I have done it, but I don't feel comfortable.
    Well I am back. How's everyone? Don't have as much time now, but glad to see some of the old gang are still here.

    Right, but did you have access to a shower? I was away with the OTC this weekend, and even though we 'wash' with water and soap we bring out with us into the field, I don't do this. If the utilities aren't adequate i.e. if there's no shower, I simply won't wash. I just can't be arsed. It's not an issue. You learn to accept that you have to put up with it.

    I thought you said you couldn't go without washing everyday and it was an issue, but now it's ok. What fucking planet are you on?

    I like him. I just think he gets a bit confused sometimes. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, or is there do you think?
