To Confront or not to confront?

oh,it's really a good question foe that I always run into such things.I gonna tell you that I never put up with this wild smell or odor problem,often I choose to stay away not saying something because it's not respect to them.by the way,you are so long time that haven't start a discussion,hope you come back,and I'd love to be your friend.

i think really you should tell the person because they may not even be aware that they have a hygiene problem just remember to be as tactful as you can as this can be a sensitive subject.

I won't confront someone. I am not that naive and i won't even think there is a neccessity to confront them and to make them feel ashamed they were in the place. I would confront if i am actually offended by what a person did.. not something like this, his hygiene problem could be huge i guess i would just try to stay away where i could not smell him/her and not really make a scene so they would feel bad in PUBLIC... not my style.

It is really not something that bothers me all that much, unless it is really extraordinary to say the very least. And even then, I'm just able to hold my tongue about things like that. I'm sure that there are people with less amount of tact that will yell at the top of their lungs, "HEY YOU STINK!" Actually I have friends who would do exactly that. They wouldn't know diplomacy if it walked up and smacked then across the face. I can deal with a lot of odors that many would cringe about however. That is really none of my business to lecture people. If it was a problem, I would limit my interactions with the person and hopefully find a way to get away from the situation as soon as possible. Or I'll just try and not breath to too much. Of course it is just sometime that I'll just have to get used to. It is really going to be something that might be frustrating.

I think it is better to just ignore that person. I guess it is kind of unethical to tell them about it especially if you two are not close. Some person who have odors does not even know that they stinks. So I guess it will be a shock to them if they hear if from some stranger. But if she's my friend, then I guess it's okay for me to tell her about it so she can do something about it.

Well if I don`t say nothing. I don`t want to hurt anybody`s feelings. Imagine if someone said to you that you stink and should wash more often. I`d be crushed and ashamed. But then again someone should point it out that the person has hygiene problems if the person doesnt notice it by itself. Its a delicate situation. I`d say better stay away and maybe someone else will say say it :)

I think that I would have to say the best thing to do is to ignore it unless you know the person well enough to say something. If it is a stranger, then you shouldn't have to worry about it again. While it is the polite thing to do (I mean telling them that they offend) you don't know how they'll react or how much it will hurt them. So best to just be quiet.

i think will stay away from her for some times are the best action can be done for keeping her feeling. After that she will try to introspected herself and found the reason why her friends stay away. If she doesn't want to introspect herself or still doesn't know the reason? It is better to talk with her in the most calm way to make her really understand the reason and doesn't give bad opinion that you hate her and just want to make her being underestimate.
