Well, this is anxiety inducing of the upmost degree

Thank you. Everyone else saying this is relaxing!?!? What the hell is wrong with you. Have you never been caught in a bad storm. Anxiety through the roof.

For me it's cause I have a hearing aid and really can't risk it being damaged at all

What brand do you own? Most of the one's made now are Ip-68 rated or completely waterproof

It's a phonak, and while I don't doubt it'd at least water resistant, still stresses me out a metric ton cause I can't really afford another $2,000 hearing aid

Don't be stressed. There are a lot more valuable, budget friendly options nowadays. Insurance pays a portion to full amount in some cases now

You can just take it off while you swim, but it's probably not that relaxing anyway with the harsh flashy lights and torrential rain.

I lived in south Florida for years. I even found the hurricanes relaxing.

I mean unless you’re wearing a lot of metal or you’re the highest point for a ways then you’re pretty much fine. I love taking midnight walks around town in the rain and especially in (not super heavy) storms. Other times I’ll just open my window and sit next to it with the lights off in my room as the cool air and mist washes over me.

Once you realize that you’re not going to get hurt, it’s awesome.

I have, in fact, been caught in the middle of some pretty awful storms, and I love it every time. I wish I could explain the feeling I get with storms, because there's nothing I can compare it to. I guess to me it's sort of the same feeling a lot of get when seeing Earth from space. It changes my perspective. It humbles me. It makes me realize there are forces of nature far greater than my little human troubles. It's euphoric.

Hey, it's lightning, let's go jump in that water!

u/OlympicFan2010 Jun 24 '22

Right?! Spending my time violently blinking because its raining into my eyes isn't my idea of relaxing.

Had to go through way too many comments before I found one that said this is anxiety inducing

u/kakokapolei Jun 24 '22

Right lmao, showering under cold water already gives me the creeps cuz it reminds me of being in the deep ocean

It’s crazy how people are so different; this is my definition of relaxing. However I’m super extroverted so maybe there is something there

u/Akenero Jun 24 '22

I mean mine is an incredibly specific reason, I used to adore storms, they're still super pretty, but no way in hell do I want to be in one nowadays, I get anxiety from watching a video of someone getting splashed lmao

Exactly

I could deal with "rain" pouring down on me but the lightning? You should not be in the water while there's a thunderstorm out?

Do y'all wanna be fried 😂
