Anecdote: I’m someone who almost always has been a quick showerer. Then I had some stuff happen that made me feel lonelier than I’d been in years. When taking an average shower (see: no forced deadline to make a bus/work on time/etc.), I did notice I was in there for much longer than previously (<10 min to 20-30 minutes).
Ain’t data but it was a pretty striking difference to observe.
I’m not unconvinced of this.
I’m a loner but not lonely and I take super fast showers with the water off during soap and shampoo scrub.
My former roommate at a previous living space who was a super invasive extrovert practically lived in the shower during lockdown.
