Is it normal to smell stuff all the time?

I have an obsession with smelling things, good or bad. I at this point it's total habit and I can't help it. I'll scratch my hair, then smell my fingers. I'll piss, and take a quick whiff. When I open cabinets, refrigerators, whatever, I take deep breaths through my nose to smell them. A lot of the time I just smell my hand. I'll ouch my armpit and it'll feel sweaty and that'll get on my hand, then I'll slyly bring my hand up to my nose to smell it. I can't help it! IIN?

    I have no idea if it's normal but I smell everything too. I use my sense of smell to determine what is up with whatever it is I am smelling. Is it normal, has it changed, etc? (Why does my fridge smell like something gross, it must be the lettuce because rotten milk smells different.) It's not compulsory or anything, just my curiosity and how I identify something.

    i would say that its more of an obsession with your health at this point. you feel the need to monitor changes in the smells that eminate from you and the smells in refrigerators to determine if there are risky smelling thing you might ingest

    That's crazy cuz I do the exact same thing I have a very acute sense of smell and smell EVERYTHING!! my girlfriend laughs and thinks it's cute but sometimes I feel weird cuz I have created very slick and covert ways of smelling things especially in public!!
