My roommate smells like sweat all the times. I keep thinking - she is not happy person if she knows that too. But my natural reaction is - I jump away when she comes closer. What should I do? I can't just tell her that:(

if you dont tell her then she might have someone else tell her and be mean about it. as afriend you need to tell her personally. i would rather a friend tell me thatn a stranger

do one thing! sit beside her one day and tell her that u r getting smell of yourself ( give example like i think my socks are stinking ). ask her whether she is getting smell of your socks. wash u'r socks that day and again tell her next day that u r still getting the smell. she will understand. if not,just tell her that it's not mine socks. go beside her and tell her like " o, i come to know that u hvn't taken u'r bath". for such a roommate what kind of trick u can try than this. i understand u'r condition pretty girl.

Yes, yes you can tell her that. If you smelled like a cow covered in cr*p, without you knowing it yourself. Wouldn't you be happy if she told you..? Or would you rather walk around smelling like cr*p...? Hm..?

As a friend, do your duty of telling her. If she refuses to accept that she stinks, it's her problem. She will have to face other people's remarks about it. But, I think you should discuss it with her. And yea...it's so surprising that people don't realize these facts about themselves.

Kind of true, but what if she thinks that she doesn't smell?
