    In my old gym there was a guy who liked to turn the lights off and then take showers in the mens locker room.

    Neurodivergent or not, that’s really weird.

      Nah, dark showers are actually peak. I have my eyes closed for most of the time anyways. Unless I’m doing something like shaving, there’s no reason to have the lights on.

      I wouldn’t do it in public though…

        By all means, do your thing in the privacy of your own home. No shame in that.

        I used to have these cheap, waterproof light ball things, that could be either red, green, blue, or a slow transition between all three. They were designed for use in a pool, but I got them for my shower.

        They were absolutely perfect. If I was having trouble sleeping and decided to take a shower (which sometimes help me sleep), I could keep my night vision intact by setting the light balls to red. They provided plenty of light for me.

        I moved houses since then, however, and haven’t seen them in years. I’m going to have to look around pool toy sections soon, see if I can find something else like them.

        In a public bathroom? Safety, don’t need people bumping into stuff, slipping and falling, not seeing what they could grab to break the fall etc

      I’m guessing he is just self conscious. I never really liked showering around others. Even when I was really fit

        That could be. My first thought was… what’s he doing in there that not having the light on is a necessity?
