    I have a male best friend who is wonderful….but the thing is he has a bad odor…he smells of sweat all the time and he just smells really bad…
    its gotten so bad to the point where I have been avoiding him and I don’t want to hug him…he’s a touchy person..likes to hug and all…but I can’t stand it at all..should I tell him ,how do I tell him?I don’t want to hurt his feelings and I wouldn’t want to end a good friendship all because of this..it may seem petty but this is making me very uncomfortable…
    please help

    Dear Glet:

    What if you tell him: (name), I like you and i want our friendship to continue and grow. I am afraid to bring this up because I value you and our friendship and do not want to hurt your feelings, yet I am having this problem: you strongly smell of sweat every time I am in your presence. Are you aware of it?” Say it in a matter of fact kind of way, neural, maybe with an empathetic or friendly smile.

    And please post if you do: how did it go, or if you chose another way to approach the topic, please post about it because I have similar problems with others, not friends though so I let it be. (And who knows? Maybe someone else has this problem with me or will have- I for one would very much want feedback on this issue- or any other- how can i improve without honest feedback?)

    Dear Anita

    thank you so much for the response….okay I will try that approach and I will tell you how it will go…
    I just don’t want to hurt his feelings because he can be very sensitive…
    but I will try
    thank you
