Rec | A WEAK SENSE OF SMELL

👃

long covid be damned, but my ability to sit in most subway cars without experiencing the gut repulsion of revolting odors other passengers suffer through is a goddamn super power

enjoying your sense of smell

my sense of smell is terrible. it borders on nonexistent, to the point that i literally can barely smell anything most of the time. when i can though, and when it's good, it's always very nice to be able to smell. enjoy the good smells around you, even if they're unconventional (gas, smoke, sharpie, etc)

My smell sensing is killing me.

I don’t know if i am alone im this or some of y’all have the same experience but my sense of Smell is making me so anxious. I could literally shower for half an hour put on new clothes and still have a sensation that something stinks around me, i even tend to ask my friends if there is a weird smell but the answer is always no. My biggest fear as you can conclude is to smell bad and because of it instead of “naturally” smelling something and knowing it’s bad, it seems like my NOSE is actually the one searching for it and tricking my mind in thinking something smells bad. I always smells dishes before i use them, smell my shoes before i wear them, smell my bag before i take it … Initially the issue started when i got COVID, when i regained my smell after recovery i was smelling stinky fish 24/7 (which seems like a commun symptom to a lot of people after recovery) and from there i developed this smell anxiety thing.

Smelling Things (ideally nice smelling things, but all input is useful)

I love smelling things in the forest or at the beach. It literally makes me feel high sometimes because it is so pleasurable. I think the sense of smell is supremely underrated and underdeveloped in humans. I really feel like an animal most of the time, so I feel like it’s important to rely on/enjoy my sense of smell like any other form of stimulation/data-collecting. I also have a VERY keen sense of smell.
