Sensory sensitivites

Post Reply New Topic

I'm misophonic too, so most of my sensitivities are sound related. And yes, all those sounds drive me nuts. Worst is when I raise those issues with people, ask politely if they could please not do that as it irritates me, and they just continue to do it. I literally have to leave the room if someone is chewing with their mouths open, smacking lips, sucking/licking themselves, sucking teeth, slurping drinks/soup, sucking up noodles, crunching, burping, lapping, sniffing or hawking - basically anything to do with the mouth and nose that isn't talking I can't stand. Other sound cues are familiar here - vacuums, toilet flushing, washing machines/dryers, fridge cooling cycles, repetitive ticking, loud noises, high pitch noises, overlapping whispering voices or sometimes just whispering in general, people being noisy such as stomping/thumping/crashing can also trigger a threat response - and I don't know if any of you are familiar with the title card thing for one of the movie sound companies, but it is a digital slide gradient from low to high noise. The first time I heard that I literally clapped my hands over my ears and screamed to drown it out. I could not physically stand that noise. People talking is also annoying but I suspect that has more to do with the drivel they talk about than any sound sensitivity.
Texture - can't stand sloppy food textures like porridge, au gratin, casserole, mashed potatoes, etc. Also tetchy textures like uncut mushrooms and dried apricots. Eating honeycomb or maltesers makes my blood cold.
Touch - I dislike to be touched. In any way. Especially by adults. I don't mind being touched by babies or animals. I also don't like people standing too close to me that they might touch me. I've learned to deal with this in city busses and so on because there is no choice, but just talking to someone, personal space bubble please. I dislike tight or restrictive clothing and thus dress at least a size too big.
Light - I'm sensitive to light, so mostly dressed covered up. Fluro lights are a nightmare but used to be worse due to migraines. Light sometimes feels as if it's burning my skin.

I have issues with smells, mostly cigarette, coffee, and perfume. It's been an ongoing problem for me at work, since two of my coworkers wear so much perfume that it arrives in the room before they do and lingers long after they've gone. The breakroom also offers coffee that is so pungent one mug of the stuff can take over the office. I find it so gross and imposing; my nose never acclimates to it and my skin feels contaminated. But others comment on how much they love it, so it's clearly my problem to learn how to deal with. For now, I just get up and leave the room for a restroom break if it gets too unbearable.

Slurping and lip smacking drive me nuts, too. My dad does both of these on a regular basis at meals and I lose my appetite and start to feel my blood boil. I've taken to either sitting as far down the table from him as I can, or eating in another room (which, luckily, my brothers have established as status quo in our household).

Oh, and crew-neck shirts drive me nuts. I feel like they're choking me and I pull and pull at them in an attempt to stretch them out.

Cigarettes or even cigarette smokers. If you smoke anything just stay the f**k away from me. Thats just so nasty.

Sunlight. One of the worst experiences in my life was sunny days with fresh snow on the ground. It would totally blind me, and it's impossible to look away from it. Fortunately where I live now it's cloudy a lot, and it never snows.

Tags, I take them off my clothes.

I never react positive to people wearing perfume or cologne. If it is really strong, then stay the f**k away from me.

Dogs barking and kids screaming. If you can't keep your dogs or kids quiet, then keep them away from me.

High pitch sounds are very irritating to me.

Change in temperature can often trigger panic attacks for me. Especially coming in from the cold into a warm building or from heat into an air conditioned building.

I hated to write on the chalk board in school.

I hate the smell of felt markers.

People touching me unexpectedly doesn't really bother me, but it will probably make me jump.

For some reason sirens and fire alarms don't bother me. I almost enjoy them, if they are not too loud. But if it starts suddenly, it will probably cause me to jump.

Colors and music, I think that is more just good taste. Of course I react well to good music and color combinations, and bad colors and music irritate me. But thats just taste, not sensitivity IMHO.

Even though I have a documented hearing loss, I'm still sensitive to sound. I can hear the locomotives running on a railroad track that is 25 km away.

Unexpected touches bother me terribly. I had a girlfriend that was very hands-on and that really bothered me for a while. Even though I can actually get a girlfriend nowadays, it's still difficult, so I dealt with her hands-on shtick on my own because I didn't want to lose a sex partner.

Musty and moldy odors bother me terribly.

Balloons used to bother me terribly. I can recall multiple meltdowns that happened over 40 years ago when some other kids were popping balloons. Since then, I have managed to get over that sensitivity. At some point, I got some balloons for my birthday and they hung in my bedroom for weeks. It was freaky the first few days and had trouble sleeping. After a while I just sort of got used to them. I continued to just have problems when balloons are getting popped, but that has gone away too over time. Now balloons are now my comfort object and special interest. Weird how something that could once cause a meltdown can now be something comforting.

Misophonia, wow, yes. Eating noises driving me up a wall.

Does anyone end up disliking certain people because of these sensitivities, even if they are otherwise a nice enough person?
Someone who lives in my building affects me this way. I'm sure they're not a bad person and mean well, but I just can't get past the sound cues. They talk so loudly on the phone I can hear it inside my place, every second phrase being "oh my god!" They stomp around so loudly on the floor and in the stairwell that I can hear it, crash things around inside their place, sing loudly and play radio loudly, have a loud fake-sounding screaming laugh and hang around out the front smoking cigarettes and laughing about everything, and a very loud voice they use to constantly proclaim everything to no one in particular - like walking into the building yelling "I'm so cold!" When there is no one else around.
I'm sure this person is nice enough, but every time I hear any of that it just makes me cringe, or freeze up hoping they don't come anywhere near me with all this noise, and just shut up. Which isn't very nice of me
Anyone else unfairly can't stand certain people based on their sensitivities?

Sounds: Loud, thumping bass of any kind. Also sudden loud sounds like balloons bursting and idiots banging their shot glasses on the bar after slamming their drinks. Most power tool noises scare the crap out of me as well. In addition everytime I hear someone happily whistling, I want to punch them in the mouth as hard as I can.

Smells: I hate the smell of marijuana, and that's why I've never smoked it. So skunky to me and I'd rather sniff my own loaded diaper over lit pot. Also the scent of sauerkraut makes me want to puke. I can't stand hot tar odours either. Clove cigarettes are one of the worst things I can get near, I must be allergic as it feels like I want to stop breathing.

Sights: I prefer cloudy days over bright, sunny ones. I don't like sun in my eyes.

Touch: I hate windy days, especially any type of wind in my face. I've also removed a lot of tags from certain clothing. No "jarring" sensations, either, I can't stand riding on rough gravel roads, especially ones that have been "washboarded" by weather. The worst things I could do would be to go on some sort of an "adrenaline rush" ride at an amusement park or participate in a fast-moving sport like "downhill" skiing.

Taste: Sour or bitter items are compleatly off-limits to me. A specific list of things would take up a whole page.

Sound:
I can't think clearly enough to conduct a conversation if there is a lot of noise or music around me. This can be anything from a radio in the car or home, someone's stereo, a noisy restaurant with not just music but loud chatter and plates clashing; also loud traffic flowing past on a busy road -- I can't walk down a street chatting to a friend with loud trucks and cars blasting past. It never seems to distract or annoy anyone else, but it agitates me to the point of near shutdown.

Several sources of noise -- if I can hear my washer but I'm trying to watch TV and then my cat starts meowing, I have a massive spike of stress.

Visual:
I actually love lightness and brightness, daylight and sunshine, but my eyes are sensitive to it and I have to wear a peaked hat or cap even on cloudy days, have to have the sun visors in the down position when I'm driving, to cut out the sky I can see, and I need sunglasses for bright sun especially when I hadn't discovered peaked hats yet.

When I was a child my family and I attended someone's wedding reception, and the 1960's "psychedelic" yellow and orange plastic floor length drapes hanging in the reception hall actually made me physically ill just to look at. I had to be removed from the place. The orange film that wrapped bottles of Lucozade in the 60s also made me nauseous to look at.

Touch:
I'm almost constantly feeling problems in my clothes --itching, labels, or just that an item of clothing has twisted or is wrinkled in a funny way against my skin, and I HAVE to correct it or it drives me to distraction. Once I have everything comfortable I'm fine, but if anything makes itself rumpled or known to me again I wriggle about making adjustments. I have to cut most labels out of most things. I have to make sure textures are soft and not scratchy, and clothes have to be on the loose side rather than skin-hugging.

Oops, just saw someone else mention windy days -- this for me too, BIG time! High winds drive me batshit crazy. I feel beaten up on a windy day, it exhausts me and makes everything physically harder, maybe also because I'm a short, small person and get buffeted around more by it than a bigger person might. I hate the feeling of it hitting me in the face too.

Taste:
Can't handle intense flavors such as hot spices or even just orange juice. Alcohol tastes rank to me.

Smells:
I don't have too many issues with sense of smell, but I do hate to have cigarette smoke wafted right at me from passing strangers in the street. People will pass very closely -- I'm talking almost rubbing shoulders if it's one of the crowded places -- and exhale at the exact moment I'm breathing it in. I seriously find that more offensive than catching a breathful of car exhaust.

I have a few sensory issues, but the worst ones are sound and light. I wear sunglasses when it's raining----or, even when there's overcast. There have been sounds that have actually caused me to have a seizure.

New clothes are a problem. I need to let them age before I can wear them.

Sounds - vacuuming I really hate, but I have learned to deal with it in my old age by reminding myself that it is only temporary. I have to hear vacuuming when I am in the office and also when my housekeeper is here working. A booming bass beat drives me nuts, even if it isn't very loud. I can't have too much noise stimulation going on or I can't think straight, study, read, etc.

Sight - sunlight makes me sneeze. Words on a page sometimes blur or dance.

Touch - being stroked repeatedly in one spot drives me bonkers. I also detest the feel of nylon stockings and some synthetic clothing, while other synthetics are ok. I need to not have hair (like bangs, or a fringe) that gets in my eyes, so it must either be too short to do that, or pulled back.

Smell and taste - I actually love a wide range of foods, this is one area where I am not now nor have ever been a picky eater. And have the girth to prove it.

I'm sensitive to smells due to allergy & sinus problems.
I don't really like being touched by anyone except my girlfriend who I love it from.
I'm sensitive to lighting conditions due to having a rare low vision disorder that's due to problems with my retinas.
I am sensitive to certain sounds but that may be due to my hearing being above average as a compensation for my vision disorder.
I've always been a picky eating & think that's due to Aspergers & maybe OCD/OCPD.

Fluorescent lights, the long rectangular ones with the halogen bulbs, they hurt my eyes and I end up making weird squinty faces that no one else is making but everyone else seems to notice and I feel embarrassed. I have a hypersensitivity to these.

Very Loud banging noises or people dropping large things. Specifically banging or like pots and pans banging.
Incessant beeping.

Being stared at. Being talked about.
