Cold showers nothing special?

Try starting with hot and rinsing of with cold.

Some of you are missing the point of what having a cold shower actually stands for. The anticipation of purposely having a cold shower and purposely putting yourself outside your level of comfort can translate into other areas of your life. You may be more willing to step outside of your level of comfort throughout your day because you have already been practicing through having that cold shower.

Instead of just sticking with your usual hot shower, you put yourself into a compromised situation and it teaches you to embrace the level of discomfort you feel.

I find them to be overhyped. You might feel like a demigod freezing yourself after a hot shower, literally shouting in the shower how you are gonna dominate, bend the world over and fuck it in the ass raw (I have done that.), but it quickly passes once you dry off and start walking around with a runny nose.

The only thing I would use it for is to prove myself that I am not going soft. If you cannot handle a cold shower, how do you expect yourself to handle a drunk dude trying to pick a fight with you?

I always have this thrill, this anxiety when switching to cold and starting to put that ice cold water on my body as I normally take very hot showers. Feels good when you get over it.

The real thing I got from cold showers was a flu.

Anything you read about on social media with "amazing benefits" will usually be bullshit. There are minor benefits to cold showers like being more alert, and obviously being more resilient to cold but you won't get anything else from them.

Cold showers are another internet bro-science fad. Again, they are cultures (finish for example) that think that being trained to cold is a good thing, and they even let their babies outside (fully clothed obviously) to get them trained as it is healthy.

But, Finish people love hot saunas.... They have a sauna every fucking where.

While I think it is fine to do the cold shower thing, just don't do it every day because you heard it in some internet forum. It is stupid.

I am not experiencing those superpower benefits others have talked about.

You do realize that these benefits are just a myth? Cold showers are just a meme lol. As QuiteRandomDUDE said, the only thing you'll get from them is flu.
