Someone: You have dry skin

Me: I do NOT have dry skin

microfiber enters the room

Hate this shit, the cloth the that touches you back. Get it away from me.

Dry microfiber sticks to my fingers and when I tell people that they look at me like I'm crazy

Yes! It's like velcro but for skin. Absolutely disguising.

This and socks, for some reason touching these makes me unable to breathe. It's like my body just refuses to go on of I have to deal with this.

Aaaaaaah! Yes! This one for sure

Yes! And the sound it makes when it rubs up against anything too. Awful awful awful!

Something has happened that has etched the rim of some of our water glasses, and they're unbearable now. I was just looking up the other day whether this is something I can fix with sandpaper or something. It seems like the answer is "maybe," and it involves a lot of PPE, so for now I may just stick the etched ones at the back of the cupboard.

My teeth hurt just reading this comment

lmao

I have to pull bags of dextrose off a pallet some days, and the sound/feeling is the worst version of this. I dread it whenever it comes up, it’s impossible to avoid the squeak.

Thinking about the wood touching my teeth just makes me shiver. Ugh.

Add clarinet reeds to that. That feeling of wood against teeth… great, now I’ll have shivers down my spine all day from thinking about it.

Most polyester

Satin and “mulberry silk” can rot in hell

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 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.

Lowkey same, especially when it cakes onto my fingers…( shudders in abject discomfort )

Scrolled way too far for this. I just look at chalk and my skin crawls.

As a child, I couldn't stand the feeling of clothing tags against the back of my neck. It would drive me up the wall, but my parents thought I was just being fussy, so I'd often get in trouble for fidgeting with them. I still can't tolerate tight shirts, obnoxious tags, or anything around my neck. Even clippers touching the back of my neck during a haircut send the bad kind of shivers through my entire body.

Came here to say it. The worst material!

especially when wet

Same.

Yea, same. It's the granularity of the micro-roughness in both materials that does it for me. Same as brushed metal

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.

Yessss. Also wood floors. I'm pretty sure preferring laminate over wood puts me in a minority of people.

This so much. My mother used to tell me the story of the princess and the pita even I was little, and I think it was probably a moralistic story, but I have no idea — but I related to that girl so much.

Same goes for bare feet. I don't mind being outside barefoot, that's where dirt is supposed to be... But indoors? No thanks.

That's not neurodivergent, that's everybody. Nobody likes even a single crumb in their bed.

Only when wet. Otherwise... Yea, I'd hate to roll around in sugar after a dip like some human sized churro. Ugh.

Also satin material.

Rather positive, then, that stuffing is usually meant to be on the INSIDE of the stuffed animal such that you don’t touch it directly.

I was go.na say certain towels, saw your comment, and just reading this made my teeth hurt. I gotta get outt here

That indescribable feeling of touching/squeezing cotton balls absolutely makes my skin crawl. 😬

Hands covered in stuff is a constant issue. I go through so many napkins when eating at a restaurant and still can't wait to be done eating so I can wash my face and hands. I can't even enjoy my food because I'm trying to race through the meal, touching as little as humanly possible, just so I can wash up.

The skin on my fingers instantly turns into Velcro whenever I touch microfibre.

It's the holographic shit right?

A lot of people are complaining about those.

what about carbonated paint primer?

Ohh but you're missing out on poor man's napalm! Dissolve that stuff in gasoline and you'll have a wonderfully long lasting flammable mixture, and it's quite satisfying to dissolve, too.

I’m with you on all of these

Think about putting a brown paper bag lightly on your molars. Then, lightly close your jaw to where your upper and lower teeth are both lightly touching the paper bag.

Pull the bag out. I just shivered in revulsion typing this out.
