Taking a shower in gym class can be especially unnerving because it most likely is the first time a person has been naked around other people. Without clothes, people feel especially vulnerable, but there are things a person can do to take a shower in gym class without it being a terrible experience. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Understand that everyone else in gym class is as nervous as or more so than you are. Most people make the mistake thinking that everyone is comfortable taking a shower in gym class. There is safety in numbers, and if you just realize that you are not alone, this can alleviate some of the anxiety.
2. Use a towel to cover your body as walk to the shower. It may be better if you pack your own towel because the towels at the school or gym are not only small, but usually coarse and do not feel good when drying the skin.
3. Shower quickly so you can get out of there in a hurry. Obviously you need to clean properly, but if you are nervous, you may just need to a quick rinse and then get out of the shower before everyone else to minimize your exposure to others.
4. Delay your shower until everyone else is in the shower. If you are the last one to undress for the shower, you can minimize your apprehension about taking a shower in gym class.
