Does my Mum love me? (not respecting fear of stuff)

Perhaps people are hostile because of how you behaved the last time, insulting people (the c word, m0ng etc), wishing starvation on an infant and so on.

Well, OP, I sympathise, even if no-one else does. My Mum and 3 elder sisters all avoided perfumes, spray on deodorant even makeup whilst I was growing up at home. I would sit down the garden for hours to avoid smells. A hypersensitive nose is a misery for me. Are you sure your problems are a phobia?
I always appreciated the sacrifices they made. I appreciate that mostly they still make an effort when visiting. The ones that don't, well frankly, I don't invite them.

The only way I can explain it is that a very loud sound hurts your ears, a very bright light causes pain in your eyes, and strong smell has the same affect on me.

If I were you I would be doing everything I could to find a way out of my situation to get my own bolthole where I could cope.

If my kids had this problem I would try to adapt accordingly, too.

useful thread in my opinion. shows who all the arm chair psychologists are . the kind of people who watch big brother whilst gorging on cheesy puffs, thinking they're the next cracker.

Ooh, I could just go for a bag of Wotsits...

Lets face it your mother does not love you, she probably does not even like you.
I don't know you and I don't like you

to be honest i still don't understand how they function in the public when almost everybody wears deodorant/perfume.

If people knew the pain it causes, I have no doubt some kind souls would make an effort to avoid them. If the word perfume was replaced by the word chemicals, which is what they are, maybe people would view them differently.

There's nothing "bad" about chemicals - that's like saying avoid bacteria - the majority of which are either harmless or beneficial to us.

Mojisola, you are known as a reasonable person on these boards, I just think that if you were aware of the effects that some chemicals have on some people who are allergic or sensitive to solvents and perfumes, or who have hypersensitive noses, or even some people with asthma, then you would avoid them where possible.
