I just cannot fathom y some people don't make any effort
to bathe and/or keep themselves clean. for instance a couple of
my neighbors reek. one liveson my floor, andeven riding the
elevator is unpleasant, as is walking down the hall, as his
body odor lingers. I just cannot wrap my head,around this!

They merely wish to share the fruits of their sweaty labour with you.
Think of it as communism in action
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

hmm. I really never fathom.being remotely.intimate with my 70 year old neighbor
who regularly discuses his hallucinations with random neighbors
& has a huge pubic forest type beard on his face . nope, really doesn't do a thing for
me, but thanks for the suggestion!

Good to know. That's why all of the girls are all over me when I limp off the rugby pitch. :D
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

I shower every day normally but when I go through a depressive/negative symptoms period, I don't shower much as everything seems a gigantic effort and I have no energy. But I am ok now so am showering every day and washing my hair every other day.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
OP, what do you mean by "I cannot wrap my head around this?" :/

Olympia, it means the OP is unable to 'get their head around it', in other words, the OP cannot understand why people don't bathe.
People with mental illnesses often struggle to find the motivation or energy to take care of themselves. Self-neglect is sometimes a symptom of schizophrenia, for example, which I am wondering if your neighbour may have if he hallucinates.
I am sorry that the smell is offensive. It isn't because of laziness though.
When I don't have showers, it is not laziness *agrees with Laura*. I have mild OCD so normally I am very strict with my showering (sometimes I even shower twice a day), so you can probably imagine how low I get when I have negative symptoms to not have a shower.

I agree... it's not laziness at all. When I get very down, I don't want to do anything ANYTHING anything. Even if I know a shower's gonna feel great... I'll never find the motivation to do it until I need to.
It can be laziness but also lack of motivation when you're unwell.
As said people are old and cant manage in and out of the bath, people are ill and too weak to do so, people dont have time so skip a day or two ect, there are so many reasons really.
"Its not how long a star shines, what is remembered is the brightness of the light"
When I've gone days and I'll admit even weeks without bathing, It's usually associated with my depression. The last thing on my mind is "offending" people with my odour, then again, I seldom leave the house when I'm in that kind of state.
And also, OP, you shouldn't judge, you have no idea what your neighbours' situation is, don't be so ignorant.
I agree with all the people posting about how some people find it hard to bathe.

I think being able mentally/physically to bathe, and choosing not to, is different to not being able to bathe due to mental or physical reasons.
Personally bathing has always been something that's never really been effected by my mental state, I bathe every single day, always have. Whereas I have spent long periods of time in bed, not spoken to anyone, not left my home etc when I've been quite mentally unwell but still managed to bathe. I guess it's weird sometimes what being mentally ill does to you, and how it effects you.
