The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Welcome fellow people that have hypsomia or ansomia. I can't smell anything and can only taste if something is sweet or sour etc. Anyone that can't smell can join and those that can't can still come in and learn about what it's like to not smell. I summons those that can't smell @Morningtide and @AonEne Edited May 11, 2022 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide she/her Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Yay! I'm here. I can taste, just can't smell. It's a little odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 My dad when we figured out that I can't smell, well him being my dad started finding all sorts of stuff that had a really powerful smell and I couldn't smell anything. It also explains why when my dad made egg plant parmesan and everyone though it tasted horrible, but it just tasted like nothing at all to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds terrible lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It was only terrible because my dad messed up cooking it. My parents once said that we have eggplant parmesan on April 1st but we went out to eat instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't taste burnt, it tasted like burnt. That was the only flavor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I always wondered if I liked sour candy and lemons because I couldn't taste as lemons are tasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide she/her Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ah that would make sense. I dislike foods that don't have a taste, so maybe the foods that do have a taste for you become your favorites? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I tend to go of mostly texture as I really liike lasagna and chicken noodle soup are some of my favorite meals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide she/her Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Oh cool. I can't eat anything with a bad texture, so that makes sense. For that reason, corned beef disgusts me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It's why I have trouble eating tomatoes some times as they can taste slimy and are hard to get down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence she/they Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Damn I'm sorry guys that sucks. I haven't been able to smell properly for almost two years, but I'm sure it will come back sooner or later. I can't imagine not being able to smell at all. That must be annoying.

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 You can't miss what you've never had and it makes taking the cat poop out much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 But on the other hand I end up having to take care of the cat poop if it's really smelly as the rest of my family will refuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne he/him in an enby way Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Didn't see this at the time of posting but hey!!

I think it's tied with taste as the least valuable sense. It can be nice, but it turns against you so often it almost isn't worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally enjoy smell and taste, but you do you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three ways: 1. Lose smell to covid 2. Gain allergies to remove all sense of smell 3. Be born with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
