and i’m not talking about blowing in your hands and all that stuff.. i’m talking about how can you tell if people smell your bad breath?? Whats the body language like and what do they say to hint that you have bad breath?
i’ve had people offer me mints and one time someone offered me gum but i wasn’t close and they were also eating some themselves. i’m very confused… One time at my desk someone turned back and we started talking (she acted completely normal like she smelled nothing) and five minutes later after that she said randomly, “someones breath is kickin!”. Was that just to be funny? Or was that a hint?
No one ever avoids talking to me and I have alot of friends so am I just thinking to much?
Most people try be polite and avoid making making a reaction. In cases where people do react, they would either step back, wince, hold his/breath, or wrinkle the nose. There are probably other reactions but it will all vary be individual.
I have turned my head so I didn’t have to breathe all their air cause it was nasty but I didn’t want to be impolite!!!
Also I may step back, like they’re in my space so I need to move.
Not being a smart alec, but do you smoke?? I canNOT stand smokers breath. My husband has it and it disgusts me. We don’t even ‘kiss’ anymore cause it truly makes me gag.
If you don’t smoke, do you floss and brush a few times a day?? Have you gotten your teeth professionally cleaned lately???
Hope something helps.
Stop worrying about it so much. Try using a mouthwash more often and it will give you more confidence. If you still feel self-conscious, then ask a close friend or family member whether they think you have bad breath.
