The way that glassware feels when it first comes out of the dishwasher and you’ve just washed your hands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Dry clothes on wet skin.

People who smack when they chew

Lisps. I can hear even a slight one

Dry pasta sauce stuck to the lid or the entrance, I hate it.

The preview of hereditary rheumatoid arthritis.

Detached pubic hair.

-Oil/butter on the cap or outside of the bottle/container it's in. I don't want to feel the oil when turning the cap or opening the container.
-Spaces that ventilate so hard the air feels dry and just makes you thirsty (most retail spaces).
-New car headlights that might as well be your brights.
-Standing in shower water. I need that water to flow down the drain.. if it starts backing up, I'm not showering. I'm cleaning out the drain.
-How to describe this.. my feet in the winter will be cold without socks, but with socks they tend to get warm enough to sweat which then makes them cold and now wrapped in a sock. There's no winning.

Loud music in restaurants

People reacting loudly at sports (sudden clapping, yelling, etc)

Velvet

Leather not letting sweat evaporate

Each line needs to end in a double space for the newline to work.
Example.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Or use a \ at the end of a line
Like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh jeez, that's incredibly annoying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Your edit looks like double-enter style. That works without the double-space, but makes two newlines. Bug or feature...

Bass(Musical bass), the sound of metal cutlery scrapping against themselves, and the "sss" sound that seems exaggerated for sleep related podcasts.

Corduroy...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Any sort of collar on a shirt except surprisingly dress shirts. Also tags on shirts, but those are slowly disappearing so I'm getting the option to not buy tagged shirts.

I blame it on an itchy wool sweater I wore when I was a kid that is my earliest sense of the feeling.

Just talking/thinking about itchy collars can give me goosebumps!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Mouth noises and ASMR stuff. Makes me want to break things. Condition’s called misophonia.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Where do I even start? The one that affects me most is that I absolutely can't stand wearing any pants at all.

I hate the texture of all sorts of porridge and oatmeal with a flaming passion. Wearing a coat indoors for more than five seconds makes me want to punch something. When you're at a beach, come out of the water, and your feet are covered in sand. (bonus points if you're trying to put shoes on)

Sandpaper. Dry skin. Dry clay on my skin. A lot of plastic things. Body hair touching me. Dry lips. Sleeves that are too tight around the armpits. Neon colors. Those fucking bright lights that look like they're made for the purpose of blinding people. Flashing lights. The sound of people chewing or even swallowing loudly. Nearly all beeping sounds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I have questions.

  1. Pants - Do you also not like wearing any shorts? If you don't have any problems wearing shorts, then how long does a short have to be to stop being a short and start annoying you?

  2. Porridge - What about macaroni or chilli ? Do you know that jelly thing with bits of fruit chunks in it? What about that? What happens if your cereal gets too soggy?

  3. Coats - Do you live in a warm/humid region? How do you cope with winters when it gets cold? Does a sweater feel different than a coat?

  4. I'm with you on the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing.

  5. Sandpaper is supposed to be irritating. But is there any correlation between your thing against Sandpaper & the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing?

  6. Dry skin? Is it because it reminds you of Sandpaper or sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach ?

  7. Dry clay - again, is it correlated to the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing ?

  8. Plastic things? Like plastic things just existing & minding their own business or plastic things that touch your skin or the ones that you're in contact with? What about the kind used in hospitals for IV fluids? Or the so-called BPA free that is used in takeaway containers or food storage?

  9. Body hair touching you - WHOSE body hair? Your own body hair or somebody else's body hair? Does it remind you of wearing a coat? What do you do when you are trying to get physically intimate with someone? Do you avoid the hairy body parts? Aren't they the most fun?

  10. Tight sleeves around the armpits - yeah, I can imagine that. Now I don't want to imagine it anymore.

  11. Neon colours? - okay. To each their own.

  12. Yes, people using those bright lights should have Gorilla Glue put in their eyes.

  13. Flashing lights - Do you also not like the small twinkling fairy lights? What about blinking festival lights? Do you also not like any flashing traffic lights? Do you ignore flashing traffic lights?

  14. Eating or chewing loudly is a sign that you were not loved as a child. I'm with you on this.

  15. Beeping sounds - what do you plan to do when you have to be in a hospital? Say you have to visit the dentist & there are beeping sounds from their machines, you'll have to bear the beeping sounds along with your toothache.

Dry hands. I absolutely have to moisturize at all times.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Acrylic blankets and microfiber. I just can't. Even thinking about it make me cringe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it like hungryphrog's thing about Sandpaper or the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing? Or is it like hungryphrog's Coat thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure what those are, but it's not sandpaper. It's like a billion tiny clinging fibers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

YES. This stuff just feels sticky. As if it's latching onto my skin and creating the same feeling I get when someone is rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam against each other, only this time literally palpable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Touching cardboard, I have realized how rough and dirty it is.

Stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Crumbfoot!!!

I hate it to the point that I vacuum and wipe the floors in the common areas by hand everyday.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Finally!! Somebody else who hates touching cardboard! :D

I have many sensory problems, but cardboard-touching is definitely the worst.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nail filing, chalk on chalk boards, using the eraser on chalk boards

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

When snow is so cold it is bone dry like a chalk board and squeaks any time it is touched.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Don't worry, give it a few years and you will only hear the sound in films.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's okay when it first starts crunching and squeaking, but as it gets colder and drier it gets bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dragging a guitar pick up guitar strings, and touching those hologram images.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I was gonna say high freq vibration noise, but those two also give me the creeps. I think I have whatever it is you also have.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

When you're at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Anything kinda powdery like flour, chalk in general, or things like dried mud or clay. Can't stand them, especially on my hands and feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep! I do pottery and absolutely despise how my hands feel covered in dry clay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I was considering you an outlier. Turns out you aren't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Agreed on chalk and similar feels.
In Germany we have sweets called "Traubenzucker" (according to my quick web search they are dextrose sweets) which also have this feel and it's even worse in the mouth.

Biting into meringue is also quite uncomfortable to me.

this makes sock shopping immensely difficult

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

For me it's seams in my socks, like right across the toe, and then that shit bunches up inside my shoe if I don't put it n right and it makes me nuts
