    What do you mean “anyone else”? I was in the shower with you. I feel so ignored!

      Also autistic, I very much enjoy baths in darkness or very low light.

      Poor man’s isolation tank.

      I have ADHD and it’s similar for me. What also helps is background rain noise. Did you try that? Im using cozy time on my PC as it also can play additional relaxing music and has a pomodoro timer.

      Same. As a horror movie junkie, there are an abundance of shower scenarios that would pop into my head whilst in the dark.

    I split the difference. Shower with a candle in the room. Transparent shower curtain.

      This is how all horror scenes start with white people and their candles in the bathroom.

    Oh yeah.

    My bathroom light is motion activated. The sensor doesn’t see into the shower, so if I don’t wave at it every few minutes the light goes out.

    A lot of the time I don’t bother. Super relaxing.

    I knew a chick who would also put on blind fold sleep mask and earplugs… they seemed to like it but I’ve never tried

    Showering in the dead of night? Yes, that’s relaxing. Showering in the dead of night with all the bathroom lights off? Few things would unsettle me more.

    Yeah, I do that. I also soak in the tub with ears submerged for audio blunting as well. Very sensory-deprivation. Quite relaxing.

    An old friend told me he did that to cope with dysphoria.

    Once I was in the shower with the lights on and I slipped. When I got up I somehow snagged my arm on the faucet and made a deep gash.

    Now every time I think of trying it, I imagine what kind of violent shit I’d do to myself if I slipped and couldn’t see.
