i also hate smelling peoples breath or feeling it on my face in general like its too moist and it smells like mouth. but hes always like "but i just brushed my teeth" and im like idk how much clearer i can be that it bothers me either way? i like kissing but it gets overstimulating so fast to have people exhale right next to my nose and i just like. i hate feeling like an asshole for just trying to not be in sensory hell
