Ok so throughout my life I've dealt with some really debilitating sensory issues. One of those being, scents. For the longest time my friends have smelled just gross and horrible, but now that I'm a teenager, it's even worse.
I have a friend named meadow, and I mean, they STINK I don't let them sit on my bed, use my blankets, or anything because they're sweaty and smelly, just gross overall. Same with other friends, but they're the worst. And yet, they're the one I hangout with the most. Everytime they visit, I need to wash my sheets, blankets, open a window, and spritz perfume all over the room. Not only do they overall stink, their breath is horrible too. Like, I get lack of motivation to do hygiene, but this is insane, I'm not sure how often they even put on deodorant and their hair looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks (and I'm probably right about that). They're so gross, I won't even share food with them because I have to remind them to wash their hands. Like once upon a time, we dated, but a big reason I had to break up with them was because of their smell. Kissing them made me actually have to hold back a gag. And they're blissfully unaware of how much they STINK, at some point, I don't even know if it's my sensory problems because my parents smell it too. It's just an intense smell of sweat. Like I can't even understand how they can live like that or HOW they even get to smelling so god damn bad.
They had a period once, and I kid you not, they used the downstairs bathroom (and my house isn't really small) but it stunk up the ENTIRE downstairs, I thought my cat took a big shit for a second, but no, it was meadow. And they did this multiple times, not even turning on the fan. Gross gross gross!!
So, what do I do? Because God do they STINK 😭
