Can people with BO really not smell themselves??

BO = BODY ODOR

I have this friend who is pretty but me and everyone around us are aware that she smells bad, which is weird bc I can tell she usually takes care of her appearance. It's already been months since one of us noticed it, another friend tried to tell her but she just flipped him off lol.

To strangers here, I do hope that you save yourself from the embarassment and perform proper hygiene and shower regularly.

People can't smell shit if they've been living in it their whole life. And that, I am not kidding, it the actual reason why. Your nose gets used to your smell and it becomes desensitized to it. Though there could be other underlying reasons as well, that is generally, why the person next to you on that subway makes you want to puke, but they are ...... reply

Yes kind of like how everyone's houses have a distinct smell to them, when you go to someone's house it smells (not in a bad way generally but you are certain you can smell something), but you can't detect any odor from your own house because you're used to it. Also pet owners your house will smell no matter how clean you keep it, but the "nose bli...... 2 reply

Depends on how long you go being stinky... at first you can... then your nose can get used to it. What a time in my life when I learned this info... I think you should confront your friend about this, preferably in private. Could be a hormonal issue or something like she's incredibly sweaty or that normal deodorants don't work on her. Gels are t...... reply

Oh noo I feel sorry for her. Dont tell her in the public bring her to a quiet place and tell her also give her your best recommendation products or solutions. Try to find more bcs maybe she can’t handle the temperature and keep on sweating? She already used some products but it didn’t work? Her clothes isn’t comfortable? Etc reply

I have the same experience with a friend and i also wonder. Like someone else said, nose blindness is a thing and if you're used to a smell you won't detect it. But at the same time i wonder... what about when you leave the shower? Cause ik that when I don't shower for a few days I stop smelling myself, but when I start stinking throughout the day ...... 1 reply

Yeah, your nose gets used to the smells you are constantly surrounded by, you will usually be able to smell your BO if you don't smell bad all of the time tho. There's also the possibility that she does know she smells bad but she's embarrassed and thus reacted badly to someone pointing it out. You might want to find a way of telling her so that sh...... reply

I can definitely tell when I smell bad, but I'm convinced that others can't (I don't spend much time around other people and wear a lot of layers, and my family would definitely tell me if they thought I smelled). For my own peace of mind, I pray that's the case... You should honestly just tell her again and be upfront about it. If the person who ...... reply
