Serif fonts. Can’t stand those extra appendages on letters.

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.
Styrofoam. It’s the devil’s material.
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.
Dry Microfiber. Doubly so when my nails are not smoothly trimmed
I haven’t saved a gif in years, but this one just captures the emotion perfectly.
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
What?! It’s crazy not to be able to notice that kind of assault on skin. Maniacs.
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
Fatty grissle in meat for me.gag
Stuffing for stuffed animals, when I touch it I can barely breathe. I have no idea why.
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 had to stuff an animal at school as a kid. It was a nightmare, I’ve touched it only a couple of times since then.
Also satin material.
More of a sound than a texture TBH, but the way certain types of styrofoam squeak against cardboard boxes legitimately sets my teeth on edge.
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.
Unglazed pottery
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.
lmao
My teeth hurt just reading this comment
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.
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.
smelled like chemical warfare
😂💜
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.
Wooden cooking utensils that have been washed a bunch or raw wood popsicle sticks or those little wooden spoons that come with ice cream cups, all genuinely revolting 🤮
Cheap acrylic sweaters/yarn is also pretty bad
Thinking about the wood touching my teeth just makes me shiver. Ugh.
The spoons… I always die inside a little when I see these out in the wild. Some food trucks around here use them and similar wooden forks. Even thinking about them gives me so much discomfort ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
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.

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!
