#anosmic

[seerya]

Not the anosmic representation I expected but I will take and celebrate it nonetheless

btw it's anosmia awareness day! be aware of: anosmic people

[PT: btw it's anosmia awareness day! be aware of: anosmic people /End PT]

I made some userboxes for the occasion

[ID: Four red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user is anosmic. They can't smell." The second says, "This user can't smell." The third says, "This user is anosmic." The fourth says, "This user has anosmia." /End ID]

And some for other smell disorders too, under the cut!

Hyposmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user has a reduced sense of smell." The second says, "This user is hyposmic." The third says, "This user has hyposmia." /End ID]

Dysosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user has a distorted sense of smell." The second says, "This user is dysosmic." The third says, "This user has dysosmia." /End ID]

Parosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user smells normally pleasant odors as unpleasant ones instead." The second says, "This user is parosmic." The third says, "This user has parosmia." /End ID]

Phantosmia

[ID: Four red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user smells things that aren't there." The second says, "This user has olfactory hallucinations." The third says, "This user is phantosmic." The fourth says, "This user has phantosmia." /End ID]

Hyperosmia

[ID: Three red userboxes with the smell disorder flag on them and white text with black outlines. The first says, "This user is sensitive to smell." The second says, "This user is hyperosmic." The third says, "This user has hyperosmia." /End ID]

my netflix shows me so many perfume ads it's really funny (i'm anosmic). at this point i can sniff out whether an ad is a perfume ad within the first three seconds.

So this is an actual tweet I found.

Personally, I can’t believe this person is being serious. Like why would she rather post this on a public platform instead of telling our fellow anosmic friend in private that her hair smells singed?

This is a major problem.

I understand the tweeter seems to feel or believe they’ll hurt their coworkers feelings by telling them the truth and that’s totally valid. Many people feel awkward or don’t want to be the “bearer of bad news,” BUT if you can assist someone with a problem you clearly know they are unaware of...maybe you should help them?

What do you think about this tweet? If you can’t smell would you want someone to tell you your hair smells bad?

Or if you can smell would you tell your coworker the truth?

I’m anosmic in the way that people with glasses are blind. Yes, I can smell some things, but it’s either a very vague smell or a very specific smell. Otherwise I’m screwed. I’m still somewhat convinced that flowers having smells is fake.
