It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

I wouldn't say that I stop thinking, but I can act out thoughts, pay attention to things or have new experiences without internally processing them verbally, although it does help with more complex issues.

If I'm having a shower, I just put soap on a flannel, I don't internally verbalise "put some soap on the flannel, I'm putting soap on a flannel now".

Nah it's more like putting soap in a flannel and thinking "where is the soap, oh that's a nice smell, did I feed the cats? Why is he snoring again? Oof it's cold. What was that song? All of the things that I said that I wanted, come rushing back in my head when I'm with you..."

Ok, thanks for clarifying, it's quite interesting to try and understand other people.
