This started in 3rd grade. i would see people rub there eyes and cover there noses. This school year it got fairly worse. I'm an 8th now. People always always always complain about a smell around me. Usually the say musty or just say smell. I have asked 8 people (6 of my family members, and 2 of my friends) they all said i do not smell. I feel like they are lying to me in order to prevent my feelings getting hurt. I have suspected maybe it could be tmau but i am not sure. This usually only happens at school not anywhere else. My whole family thinks I am crazy and I know damn well I am NOT!! If I did not smell why would people say those things around me and rub there noses, pull up there hoodies, and rub there eyes. I have also narrowed it down to ORS (olfactory reference syndrome) but many people say that ORS is just a way of coping with tmau and that it is not real and not all in your head. Please if everyone has any idea what other disease or disorder can make you smell please let me know. I have become very suicidal due to this because i feel like no one wants to be close by me. That I am a burden for who ever sit right next to me or behind me. I just want this to disappear and have a normal life again. All i thunk about 24/7 is this and i don't want to anymore. My mom thinks I am getting bullied but I doubt this a lot.
