Do I smell?

I've got an increasing phobia. Fear that I smell. Most, if not all, of you know that I have no sense of smell. Never have (in my opinion). As such, I've always been a little oversensitive about worrying about doing things that smell or cooking things that smell or whatever.

However, lately I'm almost constantly afraid that I stink. I would think a friend would tell me if I did. But I still worry. It's so bad that anytime somebody is in my office or I step into someone's office I worry about it. Or if I'm in a meeting and someone sitting next to me moves slightly away from me, I'm SURE they are doing so because I'm emitting some foul stench.

Why the sudden obsession with this? Why after 34 years am I suddenly getting super afraid of it?

Am I going crazy? :)

I agree...this is in your head. Maybe you are thinking about it more lately because it's been so hot out? I sometimes worry about this, too, and I CAN smell! ;)
