I brush. I pop Eclipse mints. And still I catch myself turning my head slightly when I talk to people. I cannot even tell if it is actually bad or if my brain is just messing with me at this point.
The worst part is when someone takes a tiny step back mid conversation. That moment lives rent free in my head for weeks.
What makes it worse is when I think my breath is fine that day and then a friend casually tells me I stink. That one comment resets my paranoia back to zero.
After I get home from hanging out with people, I start overthinking whether my breath was bad. I keep wondering if they might be talking about it behind my back.
Sometimes I wish there was a reliable way to know for sure so I could stop overthinking every single conversation.
I am paranoid about my bad breath all the time
