Deodorant Paranoia
June 15th, 2010
Andrew has a fear of smelling like an old lady:
When I was beginning to hit puberty & realized I smelled bad, my goal was to use antiperspirant deodorant so I wouldn't be able to sweat at all. My parents, who pick & choose at random what is healthy & what isn't, decided that they didn't want me to use it because of the aluminum that comes in most brands. Being twelve & kind of a brat, I refused to listen to them. Finally, my dad told me that since it blocks the sweat from coming out of your armpits that it would make you pee more.
Regardless of this information & because my parents refused to buy any for me, I just used my grandmother's antiperspirant instead. Then I began to believe that I was peeing more than normal. And I smelled like an old lady.
I stopped using it after a while because I figured it would be better to sweat than to pee a ridiculous amount (& smell like an old lady). It wasn't until a few years later I made a comment in passing to my dad about that incident & was set straight. My dad also told me he didn't think I actually believed him. He obviously doesn't know me very well.
