The skin on my fingers instantly turns into Velcro whenever I touch microfibre.
Not just me then. Although it is dependent upon the quality of the cloth.
Fatty grissle in meat for me.gag
Fascism.
Styrofoam. It’s the devil’s material.
I absolutely HATE the this decade’s fashion trend is to make everything out of woven fabrics. I cannot stand the feeling of weaves on my skin, and it has severely limited the clothing options available to me for the last six years.
Stuffing for stuffed animals, when I touch it I can barely breathe. I have no idea why.
Also satin material.
Sticky
Velvet, especially crushed velvet.
Yesss. Makes me gag.
I just talked about this topic with a few friends and family members and they all cringed in response. Every. Single. One.
If you’re writing with a wooden pencil, the graphite snaps out, and the wood of the pencil drags across the paper.
Just writing this made my skin crawl.
I love mechanical pencils. If you still wanna pencil, check out mechanical ones. There are loads of good options out there, including ones that spin the lead with each stroke to keep a consistent sharpness and ones where the lead is suspended via springs so it doesn’t break as easily, as well as ones with retractable lead sleeves so the lead and the metal pipe at the end don’t break when you move it around.
I’ve avoided wooden pencils my entire life because of it. I love the ultra-fine 0.3mm graphite with a retractable sleeve, like you suggested. It’s funny that I’m fine with scratchy graphite on paper, but hate scratchy wood on paper.
I equally love and hate writing on a hard desk with a single sheet of the shittiest loose leaf paper known to man with a wooden pencil.
I hate it because it fucking sucks, but I love it for nostalgia and for a like 15% sensory thing that actually feels nice sometimes, but 85% of the time it fucking sucks.
I hate to say it but pants.
I know they matter. I wear them. But man I can’t stand it sometimes
I’m with you. Jeans are the worst for me. They’re heavy and stiff, and depending on how intense my sensitization is that day, the waistband can feel like anything from rough cardboard to sandpaper against my skin. Adding a belt makes it even worse.
I’m grateful my employer lets me wear loose-fitting athletic pants in the office. A coworker and I were talking about it recently, and he couldn’t understand why I dislike jeans because they’re his favorite pants. Clothing that feels perfectly comfortable to most people usually feels restrictive, heavy, and abrasive to me. If robes were culturally acceptable as everyday wear in the west, I’d wear them constantly.
Suspenders helped me a lot. I can still to looser ones and no tightness on my stomach.
I’d love robs being cool too!
I hate hate hate hate the little hooks from insect’s feet/legs, they hook into your skin but just the very outer layer and it’s like it’s getting to rip my skin off by making it peels off of the skin itself!!! Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate
Also, paper being eaten in any shape or form. I had to roll my lips over my teeth while I wrote that down it just makes them hurt even from just imagining it, seeing my baby nephew eating it made me have to look away and try to ignore the entire ordeal as much as possible, even people talking about it
The sound of a permanent marker used on cardboard makes my teeth itch. I know it’s not a texture but I can sure feel it.
Same! It’s lessened over the years, but there’s still something about that sound that makes my teeth itch. The absolute worst were those huge permanent markers with metal bodies that smelled like chemical warfare.
smelled like chemical warfare
😂💜
Yea, same. It’s the granularity of the micro-roughness in both materials that does it for me. Same as brushed metal
Velvet, corduroy, some microfleece, crushed velvet, suede
I can feel the fiber in my fingerprints and it wigs me out.
Neurodiversity is so weird. I have very string texture requirements, but they’re apparently the opposite of yours. The feeling of corduroy grooves in harmony with my fingerprint grooves is recently satisfying to me. And velvet – omg heaven is literally made of velvet.
My issues are with inconstancy – a space of smooth fabric is ruined if there’s a tiny bit of grit somewhere. Crumbs in the bed? I’ll sleep on the couch. (Interestingly, both velvet and corduroy can obscure such inconsistencies, maybe that’s why I like them?)
Suede is the only one of those I like.
Paper tissies, ah I got a chill and I am so miserable right now!
I can relate to that way too much
Raw wood. Whenever I see someone put a wooden spoon in their mouth I want to scream. I have to keep the wrapper around popsicle sticks.
Yessss. Also wood floors. I’m pretty sure preferring laminate over wood puts me in a minority of people.
I highly prefer wood floors, so long as it is sealed and finished wood, but I’ve worked as a handyman for many years and have developed a deep and personal hatred for all forms of laminate flooring.
