Hyper? Cause he should be super thin if that's the case.

I have known several people as big as this guy who do not stink.

loquacius posted:

Someone suggested washing his clothes with white vinegar a couple times and he promptly ignored them


Someone replied "it's still possible to lose weight and also that disease doesn't make you stink" and he went "yeah well gently caress you"



Hypothyroidism, at least in dogs, can make them stink. It fucks up the doors that grows on the skin. I would guess this can also be a problem with humans who have hypothyroidism.

That said, thyroid medicine is very cheap and solves that problem pretty quickly. you need to watch your levels when the pharmacy switches between generics because there is too large of a variance between various drug producers allowed by the fda. My friend's doctor just prescribed the one that didn't gently caress with her levels and did not allow brand exchange when she wrote the prescription.

I shower with soap daily and brush my teeth and such, but invariably some stink remains, as does with everyone at my weight.

He's either grossly misrepresenting his body (6'2 and 280lb) or is making GBS threads himself because, no, that's not how it works. I'm inclined to think he's actually like 5'2 and 280lb especially since he mentioned it seriously affects his life and while 6'2 and 280 is big, it isn't "needs two airline seats" big.

I [25 F] don't feel comfortable with how my boyfriend [26 M] of 1.5 years is so physically close to his sister [19 F]. I want to know if it's just me.

quote:

This has probably been asked a billion times but my boyfriend and I have different boundaries when it comes to family, specially when it comes to hugging and all of that.

His mom and sister came to visit and are staying with him for a few days during a holiday until tomorrow. They live in a city pretty close to ours and come to him or he goes to them when they each can do it.

I had met them before and felt uncomfortable about it. When we all go out he's pretty much around her the whole time. Sits beside her eating out, in the movie theater, on the couch, holds her hand crossing the street, etc. He calls her something that could be translated as "little girl", and kinda treats her like one too.

Their mom said the sister had one of the best grades of her entire career back in her university and he hugged her super hard and said "OMG you are so smart!" and kissed her, and she just laughed. He also playfully "forces" her to eat because she's so skinny, hugs her every morning.

They seem to have no boundary for changing in the same room, which to me is unfathomable, but they also grew up pretty poor and shared the same room until he left for university, so I don't know.

I guess I have the opposite relationship with my twin brother, because we are pretty distant (we don't really speak to each other, I can't even imagine hugging him), and my family is definitely not this close to each other, so I don't know if it's more me than them, but some of my friends who are closer to their siblings definitely don't go this far, so maybe it's a bit of both too?

I'd like to know if I'm judging them too hard or if it's really unusual. Which one is it?

tl;dr: Boyfriend is physically close to his sister (hugs, kisses, etc) and I don't feel comfortable with it, but don't know if it's only me or if they really cross some sort of line. Which one is it?

If you picked up on “translate” and guessed they might be from different cultures well, you’re a little right. It seems that they’re from the US but the parents are Colombian and OP’s are Korean.

At last check however the Colombians on reddit did pop in to say that it was “still a bit weird”.

there is almost certainly a hygiene clause in the syllabus or student handbook or something, because the hygiene clause crops up everywhere now so that stinky people can be legally scolded for being stinky

That is weird. Though personally I really only hug family out of obligation. They're all ok people I don't have any beef with, but I likely would never hang out with them if I wasn't related. Though I appreciate everything my parents have done for me. I just have very little in common with any of my family.

to get people to stop hugging you, just don't let go. hold on as tight as you can until they say something, by that point they're so discomforted that they'll choose to cease of their own accord.

it also helps if you softy sing "don't want to miss a thing" by aerosmith while doing so.

I am literally on the spectrum and even at my most touch averse I could still grasp that people like to hug people they're close to. A quick Google tells me that Korean culture tends to be more reserved about hugging, but if it's actually going down like the OP describes, I would get the heebie-jeebies too. It's a little much.
