Is it normal that i never shower unless there's a formal event?

Hey, I know this is probably not normal, but I'm pretty much hydrophobic. I hate the sensation of water touching my skin, and so I avoid showering like the plague. This results in my hair getting exceptionally greasy and people notice. Just wondering how I can get over this and if anyone else knows of cases like this.

    as long as you feel clean and you don't smell it should be fine. people will say you should shower everyday or every other day because otherwise it's unhygienic, but I think you should shower when you feel like it. sometimes when I feel upset I just take a shower and it helps me feel better and more fresh.

    if you don't want to bathe then don't. Sure people may look at you in disgust but there is no law that says you can't stink. Some people can't even control that. Don't worry about finding a mate. Lots of people adore natural B.O.

    A guy I know showers probably once a month at best and rarely washes his clothes. He smells terrible but doesn't realise, its not cool. I'm embarrassed for him. I know thats no help but your gonna smell if u dont shower for a week. Do u like to have baths? Try making a shower something u want to do....put a cd player in there with your favourite music, I cant get out the shower when I've got my tunes going. Or if u like to drink, have a beer in the shower. Have something good to take your mind off the fact that u dislike the sensation of running water. Chicks aren't gonna be keen if u smell man

    I'm very self-conscious about my appearance. I almost shower everyday now. But I use to shower once every week until I realised I smelt bad.
