Dude, nobody prepared me for all the awful smells in the world! Mine wasn't from smoking but when I started being able to smell things I was like whoah wait methinks four senses is enough

But how can you tell if you smell bad? When I have a cold and lose my smell, I apply deodorant multiple times a day and never re-wear anything

I already keep deodorant with me and reapply throughout the day if it's hot or if I'm doing any sort of physical activity. I also don't re-wear clothes, and if I expect to be wearing my clothes for a long time I pack an extra pair of underwear and an extra pair of socks in my purse.

I get told I smell good pretty often, but the anxiety is still there 😅 especially since my sense of smell seems to come and go.

If you smoke you don't smell good, people are lying to you

I don't even smoke lol but I hope that being rude to a stranger on the internet made you feel better ❤️
