How do you tell someone that!!??!
Question: i have a highly sensitive nose and it seems like i can smell things that other people cant, but it seems like every one has to have bad breath! it grosses me out to the point that i want to puke, i dont want to be mean and tell them they need to go brush thier teeth, but i know that if i had bad breath then i would want some one to tell me (even if it was a stranger!) so how do i tell someone this with out being mean (and i know a lot of people are going to say offer them a mint to gum, but i dont have any, so gum/mint is out of the question)

The idea is good to an extend, but Telling people that you have a x amount of personal space is just giving people the idea that you are unapproachable. I wouldn't want to talk with someone who is keeping her space, seems like a very very insecured individual. Espeicaly if you are meeting new people. I dont have a highly sensative nose, but i know people that just have bad breath. Ofcouse you can't really just say that they need to cover it up.
It sounds stupid, but i only take breath when they are done speaking or when they pause. It also helps if you breath slowly too. If you're drinking something, lift your cup or bottle up alittle to block their breath and breath. move your head slight around to breath too.
It's hard to be around people that have bad breath, but sometime you just have to deal with it. Take a mint that will block your nose if you need to. try to experiment around and see what happens
good luck
Get some gum and chew it yourself. You'll be able to keep your own nose satisfied with your minty fresh breath.
Also, try to see if you are able to keep a farther distance from their mouths. If anyone is rude and says anything, just say something like "my personal space and comfort zone requires x distance, and it makes me uncomfortable if anyone gets closer" and gesture with your hands how far away they need to be so you can feel comfortable.
