" if someone complains about it, blow in their face "

~these were wise words from the dearest person to me ;) anxiety made my bad breathe worse and maybe even was the root cause of it.

I've always had bad breath it was manageable. When I was around my friends, family, doing any activity I forget about it and other people never notcie it either. I never got reactions, the room never smelled like my bad breathe, and no one ever complained about it .

On the other hand, as soon as I was put in an environment with new people for the first time, in a closed space, not much speaking and always more listening, I listened to my anxiety and decided to hold my breath ,not talk ,not eat ,not drink around people all because of my anxiety and for long hours, and guess what happened; the smell became worse and noticeable, it became room filling and shitty. This is your sign to escape if you ever feel like you have bad breath, please don't care about it , please don't listen to it, it's hard I know but it's possible .Live your life.
