Re: RE olfactory reference syndrome to meet or speak.

I thought I had ORS for a year but it turned out I really did stink... I thought because friends and family couldn't smell it on me that it was in my mind. But recently I saw my dad at a funeral and since I was anxious and depressed, the odor came out and he admitted he could smell it on me. I heard some other family members talking about a gross odor as well.

I think this thing comes out or gets worse when we become uncomfortable; that's probably why when we're with friends & family we get less reactions.

But I really, really wish it was truly all in my mind.
