So...this is weird and I hate talking about it, but here goes.
Wherever I live a weird smell follows me. Like when I was growing up we always figured there was some dead animal in the vents we couldn't find or something. But when I moved out of the house the smell left, and my Dorm Room started to smell. Then when I moved into a house, my room there smelt and now that I'm back at home, so is the smell.
I'm not a dirty person, I shower every day, I vacume my floor once a week, I do my laundry weekly, I change my sheet every month, but for some reason this stench follows in my wake...and I can't pinpoint why. Any ideas/suggestions.
Sheets should be changed weekly!! You're literally laying in the same place for 248 hours every month. At night you sweat, drool, dream :winky:, shed skin, fart and fap in the same place over and over.
I'd recommend this as your first change. Also, if you've had the same sheets for a few years, i'd recommend picking up a couple sets of new, good quality sheets.
I use to change my sheets one a month and recently switched to once every two weeks, no real difference but I still do it. I also shower right before I go to bed.

Yeah, keeping sheets for a month is pretty nasty. Not saying I didn't do it when I was single and lived by myself, but it's still nasty.
Yes Musty is EXACTLY the way it was described to me (I only really smell it after a day or two of being away from home then I get use to it again after a few hours)
Check your mattress/boxspring. I had some moisture get into my box spring, and the box spring didn't dry fast enough, so the boxspring (and matress) developed a musty smell. See if that's the case with you as well.
Do you put your clothes directly into the dryer as soon as the wash cycle is finished? Because if you leave 'em in the washer for a period of time they get mildewy.

My flatmate's room is like that. Some people just have an odour. Well actually we all do, its just a modern preoccupation to disguise it as far as possible, and some people have an easier time of that than others. Don't stress.
Do other people smell it or just you? And does it only occur in your living area or simply everywhere you go and only where you are at any time?
Yeah its just were I'm living, I mean my Car smells but thats just because when I eat fast food I throw the junk in the back, and I clean it out weekly and it smells nice again. My room though, yeah this time my dad pointed it out to me, I figured when I lived on my own it was just because I lived in a basement and there was a flood, the other 2 guys had a shit ton of smelly stuff going all the time because they smoked pot but not me.
Though when I think back my dorm room smelt like that on my half.
For now I just got one of those Oil Simmers with the scented oil for when I'm home, and an airfreshner for when I'm not (I can't stand how those things smell, but they get results)

Agreed. Some people just have a scent/odour like that. Couple friends from school had a unique scent.
It might be your skin. I saw some special on TV once with odd health conditions, and these two women had very distinct, very unpleasant odors they omitted. It became a burden on their life, and one of them started a special diet to help. It was just the oils from their skin and stuff, some disease or something, they showered all the time and it didn't really help. The diet thing was the only way to control it.
Maybe you have a lesser form of that? Do people completely outside of your living areas notice it? Maybe it's mild, but if you're living somewhere it will build up and become very noticeable? Try changing the sheets more often?

It might be something in your diet.
Oh good god man!

I spent a few months smelling like a peppermint plant due to an Altoids addiction.
