And this all just makes me wanna die or never interact with people again or cut or something.
None of which I’m actually gonna do lol
It sounds like you’re doing everything you can. So then it’s not on you. But I don’t know that there’s really an issue. Honestly the few times I’ve heard people mention something about a smell to me, a couple times I even checked with other people who said it wasn’t me and they couldn’t smell anything.
I’m trying. But idk what to do. I can’t work with them anymore if I smell bad. I know it’s bad. My mom tells me a lot. And I can smell it if I get close enough.
I know it’s bad. But I also don’t know what else I can possibly do.
Have you talked with a doctor about it? They might have some ideas about what else can be done?
I know you don’t want to be around situations like that at work around other people where it might be an issue. It’s tough.
There was a period in high school where I had such a bad anxiety reaction to being in water that for a few weeks I wasn’t showering. People noticed, and some kids talked about it. But that ended up being it. None of it had a lasting impact.
And in your case you’re doing everything you’re supposed to. I don’t know, honestly I wish people would just understand more that if your body is a certain way for whatever reason, then it’s a certain way. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a certain smell or a certain way someone makes a face or the way they walk or whatever. It’s not like it says anything about you as a person.
Remember that the people who matter know you. To them, you is what matters. The smell thing is going to affect exactly 0% of it.
So you’re not at work now, right? Right now, you can breathe. Breathe and be you and screw whatever is going on at work for now. Let yourself get back on your feet first, you don’t have to figure out how to deal with it all right this minute.

I haven’t yet. And idk. I didn’t realise it bugged people that much.
Right? I don’t care what people smell like. Unless it’s drugs or cigarettes. It’s stupid.

Yeah. But what if it stops people from wanting to know me? No, I just had my parents come pick me up. That’s true. But I just feel crappy and wanna figure out what to do. But you’re right. I should probably just leave it till tomorrow.
I think I might call in sick on Thursday. Maybe I’ll say it was a medical emergency, cause according to my coworkers, it is😆
If it’s taken this long for you to hear something about it, then it really can’t have bugged people that much.
Yep. And I think most people feel that way. I mean some people are just really sensitive to smells and are bothered by lots of scents that are fine for other people, but then again that’s just the way their sense of smell and brain is. If they’re judging you for it though, then that’s crappy.
It’s only been one week. So idk.
I agree. And they complained to our boss. Whatever. It’s not like I actually liked them in the first place, so whatever.
I was just mentioning to someone the other day about a similar thought. If they’ve had a real conversation with you, that tells them more about what really matters about you more than a smell would. So either they’re your kind of person and it’s a small thing that they won’t let put them off, or they’re not, and then do you really need more people like that around you?

Yeah, that’s true. You’re right. It just feels pointless. Is stupid shit like this gonna keep messing with my life? Just cause of something I can’t control?
Unfortunately I think there are always going to be some things out of our control that mess things up. But we learn how to live with them, and get better at it the more we do that. Plus we don’t even know that this in particular is something that’s going to stay with you forever, do we?

Yeah true.
Also, yeah, I hope not.
What sorts of things do you do to settle after something like this? Art? Playing with your dog? I mean, talking about it, but you’re already on top of that 
Did a customer actually complain to your boss or do you think your boss might just have wanted to be a dickhead and use that as a way to bring it up.
Kaki I doubt that people are not going to want to know you because of an occasional body odor issue. Everyone sweats and it often smells stronger to us and can also often not even be noticeable to other people. You bathe yourself and that’s about all you can do other than wear deodorant. I used to wear a little aftershave to mask any body Android I had after a coupe of hours of work and even if the customers could pick up a lot body odor who the hell do they think they are to complain about it
Whenever I’m put on the spot like you were my body temperature would rise and I would sweat more so your boss didn’t help you out there, he/she should have your back regardless so I’m sorry that someone has made you upset, I hope your ok, please don’t think of quitting

Haters are doing to hate in anyone and everyone bit themselves, it actually says more to me about the pitiful way they view themselves for them to feel the need to try and put you down.
They are insignificant people that don’t deserve you
