So, as a child, specifically pre puberty or during puberty I was basically in total self isolation and not interested for anything, and I even neglected my hygiene and showered once a week. Well today I'm trying my best to do at least bare minimum and shower every day, or maybe sometimes skip a day. But I still sometimes feel like I am dirty and like I stink no matter how much I clean myself and how much deodorant and parfume I apply. Idk what to do.

What's your diet like? Diet can affect your scent quite a bit.

Honestly everything. Meat vegetables fruit sugar, I drink lots of water.

That sounds fairly well-rounded. How much of it is prepackaged vs prepared at home?

My other suggestion would be to make sure that laundry and bedding/linens are also getting cleaned regularly.

If it's specific areas of your body that you perceive to smell bad, like the feet, it might be some sort of fungal infection.
