Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

congrats! I know you said you smelled something yourself, but did anyone confirm you had bb?

happy for you, but what made you think you had it in the first place? Hi, well about maybe 12 years ago now I started getting weird reactions and strange looks. I started noticing people's face changed when I spoke. People hands covering their noses. I have never right off the back been told my bre...

Hi all, So I'm wondering what peoples' opinions are on the forum regarding "rebound" bad breath - basically smelling your own breath during a conversation with someone else. I for one do know that to some degree it is possible, and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this pheno...

For years I felt like I had bad breath.. I mean really bad breath.. I even documented a few times here me going to get checked out. I went to ENT's like a thousand times, had endoscopy done... you name it I done it besides getting my tonsils taken out. No ENT's given me the yes to do it.. Well, to ...

Hi all, I have not been here for awhile. I was in treatment as I am a recovering alcoholic that replapsed. While in treatment, my main issue was halitosis or halitophobia. My therapist said she had never smelled anything on my breath, though occasional nose rubs. But better, the women in treatment ...

My brother and sister constantly taunting me about it during childhood. No reaction can ever be considered a definite confirmation, and far more likely to be part of a paranoia. As a guide though, if you have ever watched the behaviour of people around a person you know to have BB, it depends very ...

Yes it is a humbling experience when you are trapped by this affliction, halitophobic or not. I have always had reliable feedback on my breath from my brother, but he loses his patience very quickly if ever I mention this "problem". People who don't have BB simply do not understand how BB...

I'm extremely shy too. Sensitive and self-conscious. My mind never ever stops talking to itself when other people are around me. It's like I'm always on alert for that one stupid bastard to say or do something to bring me down. It's almost as if I advertise myself with the way I act around others. ...

If you can't see this behaviour as anything other than totally normal behaviour, you need help. What's more likely - that certain people emit gas or particles that just happen to make people around them spontaneously rub their noses, cough, etc - or that certain people develop a paranoia that makes...

Just spoke to Stinkbomb and we can set something up for next week. Does Sunday the 6th work for you?

Those are not reactions. It's normal human behaviour. If that is what you are dealing with, you are probably suffering from "ORS". It's a form of delusion. Many people on this forum do. Please read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_reference_syndrome thanks for the re...

Was scouring youtube in hopes of finding out what my problem was exactly and came across a couple of reaction videos that I found similar to my experiences (except not as much nose blowing). Do you get similar reactions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-oBwuGkbUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGG...

How do you guys smell yourself or your odor? I can't really smell myself

to the OP, maybe if you're still not sure you (i guess we all) should take the brave step and asking those in whom we see making a reaction rather than random people off the net. I.e. if that is the only way you are currently detecting it then it makes sense to ask those people who appear to react....
