And yes, the smell is even worse than you can imagine.
Had the misfortune of entering his bedroom one day and his sheets were black (they were originally beige…), and stiff, and cracked when he sat on them.
Holy fucking shit. Does he have serious mental illness? I’ve never seen or heard of someone being even remotely like that and not have some form of mental illness. Dude needs some kind of therapy either way, goddamn.
Just grew up in a house where it was normalized and unshamed, apparently. Which is why the only thing that can make him “shower” is the doctor visit, under threat of not seeing the doctor/getting refills if he didnt.
Had a dude in my division on a US submarine like this. Stupidly gross. Ended up having a medical order that basically made him shower every day under supervision from our doc to ensure he bathed. Imagine the dude you mentioned but enclosed in a metal tube under the ocean for months at a time.
Shower parties aren’t a thing anymore? In my days scumbags were assisted in their shower by a few larger shipmates and various brushes. It usually only took one to convince them to mind their smell in such cramped quarters.
Post 9/11 there were sweeping changes and a few high visibility hazing incidents that put a hard stop to that kind of bullshit. Not entirely a bad thing but I know what you mean.
Is the twice a year an exaggeration, or does he actually only shower every six months…?
Sadly, no exageration.

Refusing to do normal human tasks to the point where it interferes with your ability to meet your life goals is sort of definitionally mental illness.
Nope, no mental illness.

Yeah idc how you spin it bathing 2 times per year and having sheets so dirty they’re black and crack when they move is serious mental illness.
If his home was like that growing up it just means his parents had a mental illness as well.

“I went to med school for this.”

Yeah, this dude definitely has something wrong with him mentally…
What do you mean he sounds perfectly sane? Doesn’t everyone smell like the ass end of an anime convention?
I think you mean a SSB tournament.
