3 months ago we got a new housemate and are now dealing with this super awkward situation with her. Like, a week after she moved in, I started noticing this sOur and stale smell coming from her room whenever she'd open the door. My room's right across from hers, so basically getting hit with the full force of it. usually avoid commenting on personal stuff unless it's something they can fix in like 5 mins, but this smell's gotten so bad it's filling the entire passageway.
Even our guests are noticing it. And honestly, she kinda smells like that all the time, like her body's got this same kinda of scent that just fills the room. It's super concerning, especialy since our other housemate has had to applying essential oils to his wrists and sniffing that just to cope with being in the same room as her. The thing is that isa sensitive topic for many reasons and she is in a vulnerable place as she just came to our queer house share after being outed as trans and running away from home, so it's a super sensitive topic. I'm wondering if it's maybe some medical thing, but seriously, how does one even bring this up with her?
Like, it's obviously personal, but it's also affecting the whole household now. And I've never seen her do laundry, which doesn't help. I'm working from home, so I've seen everyone's comings and goings, and she's never done a load of washing. How doI navigate this convo without being super insensitive?
