Ok sooo im 16yrs old and during school all i can think about is do i stink.....it only happens when im around a bunch of people.....ive never been told i smell bad.......i even asked my g/f if i did and she replied no.....i shower in the morning and at night and after exercise....i wear deodorant everyday and somtimes cologne and wash and change cloths often! I've had that thought for a couple years now but no one has ever said i smell and idk why but its allways on my mind where i smell my clothes and am kinda paranoid about it! Is this just a mental issue or is their someway to tell if i smell without asking everyone?

it might be psychological or you just like to smell yourself. you might be turned on by your own scent. see a doctor if you are really bothered by this issue of yours. cheers!

I think it's because you're overly concerned about cleanliness which is normal for a teenager. I say overly because if any thing you're bathing too much. It's subzero tonight and I shower twice a week in this weather. If it was warmer, then daily. I still have dry skin because of the low humidity. Not to gross you out but I had patients in the nursing home that did not want to take a bath for months. You can't make them wash because of Patients Rights. You should try catheterizing them-- the stench would damn near melt your glasses. Listen to your girl friend, she will let you know.

This may be part of an obsesssion. You might want to discuss this with your Doctor.
In the meantime, go to your health food store & buy a liquid product called "chlorophyll". You take 1 spoonful daily. It's sweet tasting; not bad. Stops bad breath; foot odor; body odor. you can even dump it down a garbage disposal to get rid of any bad smells from there, too.

Funny. because i was just smelling myself. and i smell bad. no one has to tell me. I just know. because I can smell it myself. But seriously, I don't care. I mean, who decides which smells are good and which ones are bad. I lived in Europe for a while. and everyone over there smelled. I mean, I was really surprised because everyone smelled bad and no one was tripping. It was like normal. A friend told me that they don't bath as much because they think that its normal to have a smell. Americans tend to be obsessed with smelling good because deodorant/ soap/ shampoo/ cologne/ per-fum etc. companies put it in our heads that we should smell "good" and need to buy their products. I recommend that you do some experiments. try not to bath as much and see how it makes you feel. test it out. see if anyone will say anything to you. or if anyone cares. I'm at the library and no one seems to care that I smell bad. I don't. =-)

its natural to worry about smelling bad in public. If people aren't being rude to you or dropping you little hints then you should not worry so much, plus your 16 and lots of kids worry too much about social settings etc don't worry about it.if you stink people will definitely let you know some how, so just chill and enjoy being around people
