Same. Geez Lemmy really gets up on a pedestal about this.

I hate hearing my own thoughts and everything’s depressing right now. Listening to music instead of my own thoughts is considered a plus.

if you can’t be alone with your own thoughts you need therapy. not an insult. if you can’t stand what kind of person you are to the point that your thoughts are toxic, talk to someone. seriously.

I’ve been to therapy, many times … yes, I’m suffering, yes I’m trying to improve and no it isn’t easy and I’m going through something rough really right now.

I have a lot of friends around me and no one to turn to but yeah, I’m not looking for an online consult right now (as in I’m not holding you or any other Lemmy socially hostage about this). I just can’t bear my own thoughts right now.

[edit] thanks though from across the Internet, I do appreciate it [/edit]

I mean I do bring the phone into the bathroom to listen to music, but I use it with a bluetooth speaker and it stays on the sink. Why would you even bring it inside the shower? Capacitive touch screens work like shit when wet.

I have a stand opposite where it stays dry. My shower is fairly big and I put it where the shampoo and conditioner is and it’s where the wall is … I’d never keep it wet.

I don’t touch the screen. I just listen to things. I could just leave it on the counter.

In the bathroom in general, I can understand. Even without a fan, the steam rarely reaches countertop height, so putting it on the countertop or the lid of the toilet or something else low still makes sense if you are in the shower.

My issue lies in having it IN the shower, and having it taking the moisture straight in the teeth. Like… why?? It’s not like it is impossible to hear from next to the shower, well out of the way of said moisture.

Why? Mostly, so I can control it if an episode ends but also for max volume over the shower sounds. When I travel and don’t have a good place for it, I will use a nearby toilet or counter.
