Worst sensory issue

Post Reply New Topic

I like my sensory issues mostly
I think the only thing I really hate are rapidly blinking lights (which I like in certain situations if I can just sit and look and not be expected to actually Do anything) & barking dogs, loud yappy dogs drive me nuts.

I am very sensitive to sound which I love, especially going out to party's I get drunk on the sound, on the down side, tiny noises drive me right up the wall.
I am not much sensitive to touch at all, only sensitive to great pain, but wool leaves me itchy for days (not an actual allergy, just the way the texture looks and feels against me) & light brushing against my skin can be both repulsive or very nice depending on the situation....

I can not seperate my sensory issues into just positive and just negative, they are all double sided, but I enjoy them more often than I do not & I think... I would not like me or my life as much without themwierd as that may seem.

I think dog's barking is the worse, but maybe that's because my next door neighbor lets the barking go on too long. I also cannot stand loud, noisy crowds, or sharp beeping alarm type noises. I tried to go shopping with a friend, and the store was very crowded. I spent nearly an hour wandering around, getting distracted, even though I had bought a list. I finally gave up, purchased a few things, and left the store. Even there, people were grouped around the entrance, smoking, so that I was forced to walk through a wall of stinking smoke just to get to fresh air. People are definitely at the root of it all.

Auditory is my worst (half the time, even things like normal conversation hurt my ears) then tactile (light touch hurts, anything plastic is painful to hold, and the seams on my clothes drive me insane).

This seems like an uncommon one, but smells bother me most.

Touch!

Anything touching my fingertips or that side of my hand is a no-no. Today I was trying to write something down and my nails were a bit long and kept touching the underside of my hand and that was unbearable, too.

But otherwise any other kind of touch. I'm also very particular on food textures. Light is an issue for me also.

I've never been particularly sensitive to any kind of noise. But when I'm in a noisy setting-- half of what anyone says to me just sounds like a bunch of syllables.
