Sensitive...

The way we present ourselves to the world is own responsibility and is often judged visually. Apart from visually, sensory is also an important component. Have you have incidents when you are seated besides somebody with a very strong body odor?

Of course, I have instances of such times when the person seated beside me was oozing out sourish body odor. Apart from commuters, there was a colleague of mine who had it.

It makes me wonder why friends of these people were so unkind and not telling them. Yes, it's a personal thing but if your friends were really friends, they would be kind enough to break the news gently to you. Instead of facing the world without noticing it. It's really sad.

I understand that it's difficult but there is a need to present yourself professional to the world. Besides, there are many brands of deodorants or other products in the market to assist in 'masking' the smell. Hence, there is no excuse of not being bothered.

As for me, I will make sure that I will spray deodorants before leaving the house. Alternatively, I will carry a trial size of perfume and go to washroom to 'smell' myself.
