Those are good questions. A study on how this effect applies to smell instead of sight would be interesting, as would a study into how the effect varies for people with different traits!

For example, being cognitive of how you smell might make you think that the smell is more obvious to those around you, because it’s obvious to you. So then that might pose a different question: do you believe these attributes are more obvious because you believe those around you think like you? That leads to then another question: do those more closed-off have this effect on themselves? If they believe those around them think unlike them, would that change the way they think about this? In earnest, I find it fun to see how what seems like a simple question can lead to many others.
