I don’t use deoderant; I don’t feel the difference and I never really cared much about my smell; but my parent keeps bringing it up and it’s annoying.
Also, what’s wrong with smell? Human smells differ anyway.
Your parent keep bringing it up because your smell is offensive. They’re trying to help you learn the things that will help you get a job, or have friends, or go on dates. In short, they’re being a parent. Help them help you.
Are you doing everything that will better your chances at getting a job or a date?
That’s not the point, and one’s offensive smell is a massive barrier to employment.
I really don’t understand people like you.

Of course. I know. Everybody knows. I’m simply suggesting that something being a fact isn’t making it okay or good.
I really don’t understand people like you.
What kind of person do you think I am?
Yes. It is very important otherwise people might get very uncomfortable being around you. That creates barriers when making friends, getting jobs, etc. One other thing - deoderant is not the same as antiperspirant and vice versa. Use both.
It can be easy to be nose-blind to your own smell, trust me its easy to stink enough to be offensive to others but not notice yourself.
They’re doing you a favor by letting you know. Just take the extra moment and put some on in the morning. Just don’t overdo it and douse yourself in body spray; too much body spray is nasty too.
I have sensitive skin and can’t stand artificial scents, they give me a brutal headache.
When I get funky I dust my pits with baking soda. It erases smells instead of “putting lipstick on the pig”. Wear a white shirt though, it’ll turn your pits white.
