I have an enormous issue with things that stink or smell bad .......... my home ... my bathroom .... any area around me ..... but most especially .........me!!!!!

I cannot bear odour (perceived or otherwise) on myself in any way!

I deodorize and wet-wipe all the time.

I have only recently learned that my late father used to tell me -when I was about 3 years old - "Go away, you stink".

This was shared with me during a recent family gathering - all in good fun - no hard feelings intended.

As I wasn't deeply close with my father and as I have no recollection of him doing this to me, I never thought there was an issue.

However ............ recently I have begun to think about my obsession (I use that word lightly) with smells and myself smelling .... and I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with what my father (apparantly repeatedly) said .....

Any thoughts?
