I constantly think i smell bad when I don't is this normal? im always so paranoid about it, i barely hang out with friends or go out in public cause i think i stink, I've asked people if i do.. & they always say i smell good. But i just can't get over it. it's pretty much ruining my life.
yes why are you thinking this way for you should ignore what others may think of you.
Yeah, I understand, nothing like the smell of fresh swampass on a hot summer day sitting in a vinyl chair HOTLANTA!!
It's part of a disease called "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder". You are obsessed with the idea that you stink, and you are compulsively worried about it. Since you have been reinforced by friends and family that you, in-fact, do NOT have an offensive body odor, then it is in your head. I would suggest that you go to your doctor and explain this to him/her. Ask for a referral to a Psychiatrist. ( who prescribes medication versus a Psychologist who only does "talk therapy"). A combination of medication and talk therapy might help you over-come this anxiety driven phobia. This actually is very common and can be treated. In the meantime, you need to reassure yourself by verbally stating out-loud "I do not smell" every time you feel that sensation crop up on you. If you want it to go away, you need to seek professional help. There may be an underlying problem that is causing this and until you work through it, you will continue to have this issue. Good luck!
well, i had problems "down there" and ever since i've just been really paranoid it's really bad.
it takes me forever to even consider going out cause im scared someonne will smell me.
if that makes sense :P
You should go to a Doctor and tell him/she to look in your nose and tell him this. He know it and can help you, maybe he send you to a specialist. Its a disease, but not so big.
I used to be the same, just not as extreme. I cant smell so it makes it difficult. But dont let it ruin your life. Maybe go see a hypnotist, that could actually help you out.
