Post Reply New Topic

I have many hated sensations but these are the top ten no goes for me
1.flashing or strobe lights
2. anything that feels slimy and/ or greasy (raw meat, bananas, yogurt, lotion, chap stick, clay,etc)
3.Wet clothes that aren't a one piece swimsuit or a rough towel. Especially wet socks
4. Turtle neck sweaters and scarfs
5. Anything that covers my face
6. Water on my face.
7. "spicy" smells such as strong Mexican food, cinnamon spice stuff, curry
8. the sound fizz and carbonation make
9. People eating next to me, the squishing sound there food makes as they chew
10. getting anything under my fingernails

-Strong smells
-Sudden noises
-Cold weather
-People/animals getting in my field of view.
-Idiots making weird noises intentionally.
-The texture of some fabrics and foods.

Wow I think I might have very close to the exact same list as you... with maybe the exception of #8 (but I can see how that could be annoying to someone).

Actually for fun I'll just leave a comment for each # about how I feel about it, here goes:

1. That does drive me crazy whenever I come across it, it's hard to endure very long (if I even need to).
2. I hate that too, like if I get Mayo or Butter on my hands I have to get a tissue and get it all off pretty fast.
3. If my socks get wet that really is annoying feeling, I have to get them off as soon as possible.
4. I have worn those before as a kid and I remember not liking how it felt. Haven't worn either since actually.
5. When I eat sometimes I get food on my face (if it's messy) and I can't stand it and have to wipe it quick.
6. This one is especially bad for me because of a period I was in as a child where I had to avoid it.
7. I notice these things bother me as well, especially if I'm not hungry.
8. This is the one thing you mentioned that doesn't really bother me that much. It just sounds fresh, lol.
9. This is probably the number one most annoying thing to me, it just sounds disgusting.
10. I hate that feeling. Also most times if I notice dirt under my nails I feel an irresistible urge to clean them.

Also I have to add a new one I just discovered to my list... I just clicked "preview" (I always like to do that when I post just to see how it'll look) and nothing happened. The sensation I get when websites don't respond when I click on stuff is very very hated!! ! lol I just clicked stop in the browser before it went to some weird page saying "server offline" or something. Well here I go to try again... Finally it worked, ok now let's see how "Submit" goes, lol.

- The feeling of cotton rubbing against your teeth, or just the general feel of cotton.. It is extremely unpleasant. Bleugh!
- Hot lights
- Extreme heat (heat waves)
- Sand
- The feeling you get when writing with a felt pen, it makes a horrible noise and the sensation is just unbearable.
- bright lights
- smell of hot oil
- wet jeans... /shudders/
- sound of people chewing loudly.. The noise is maddening, and makes me feel borderline homicidal.

the heat of summer
cold water
the sound of lawn mowers / leaf blowers / power washers / other equipment that makes a loud droning noise
people talking to me in a really cheerful, obnoxious voice
burning my tongue on hot soup
shrieking children

- the smell of brown sugar
- the sound of vacuum cleaners
- the sound of lawn mowers
- the feeling of makeup/lotion on my own face
- the feeling of humidity/moisture
- the feeling of wool
- the flickering quality of some lights
- the sound that sometimes comes from cords/electric things when they are plugged in
- the feeling of tiny animal hairs on my face after playing with small mammals
- both "silence" and the taste of "nothing"
- the smell of cigarette smoke
- the smell that emanates from the fish dept. of most grocery stores

Cold.

Anything sticky

Anything sticky, slimy, greasy, oily on my hands. Pretty much any sensation on my hands that isn't clean, dry skin.

Blinking or flashing lights

Here is the weirdest one for me: the dark. I'm not afraid of the dark, but I swear I can feel it on my skin and I HATE it! It's a creepy-crawly sensation sort of like the kind you get on the back of your neck when you feel like someone is watching you. Blech!! !!

I agree very much with the greasy & oily stuff on my hands or anywhere else. As far as sticky/slimy, I'm okay with things like mud, but tree sap drives me crazy. If it can't be washed off with water alone I don't want it on me. I wash my hands a lot, but rarely use soap.
Also:
-The smell of black olives or pickles.
-My mind fixates when people are talking nearby or if music is playing lowly. Loud bass is terrible for me.
-The sound of metal striking metal, or glass striking glass.
-Summer temperatures.
-Rubber against my skin, especially areas with body hair.
-Bright headlights at night (Seriously car manufacturers, what's the deal? My eyes do this natural thing where they adjust to the dark, making them susceptible to your unnecessary halogens).
-Computer screens in dark rooms are problematic too.
-Some foods have unpleasant textures for my mouth. Cooked fruit is slimy, and food in soups are just soggy.
-The difference in texture between my skin and scabs is the main reason I am compelled to pick them.
-Babies. Just... everything about babies.

Anything that is dry and/or dusty (touching it, hearing the sound of it, breathing it, tasting it, or just looking at it)
Bright sunlight or other bright lights
Restrictive clothing, especially anything tight around my waist
Socks made of synthetic fabric, or a wrinkle or loose string in my sock
Wearing rain boots or other types of shoes that don't breathe
A pointed, hard pressure, like when a heavy cat is standing on me
Very light touch, like a cats whiskers or a bug crawling on me
Repetitive beeping like at store checkouts
The sounds of tv programs and especially commercials
The sound of almost any pop music from the last 10-15 years
The scent of perfume, body spray, or air freshener
The loud clattering and echoing noises in a restaurant
The smell of most breads, especially white loaf bread
People rushing past me, like when children are running around

+ The feel of anything that's wet, especially old food - washing pots without my trusty rubber gloves would probably make me sick.
+ Touching anything except towels or other course items when my fingers are wrinkly from water.
+ Bright lights - instant headache.
+ Loud noises, especially anything that drones, such as drilling, lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, etc.
+ Strong smells, particularly anything meat/fish related.
+ Carbonated drinks - even a tiny sip feels like my mouth is on fire.
+ Literally anything to do with onions - the texture both in my mouth and hands, the smell, the taste, etc.
+ Swallowing tablets or anything with a dodgy texture; I throw up very easily.

Touching bath/sink enamel and hearing chewing noises. I hate it!

- Bright lights, especially when I'm about to go to bed.. I just can't get tired/settled with them on.
- Buzzing that a TV makes
- Sudden loud noises, the worst is a loud alarm clock or a car blowing its horn at you
- The noise of a large group of people, that buzz or chatter in the background becomes so loud I can't hear anything else

+ Anything holey like honeycombs and wasp nests - just looking at it makes my ears and scalp itch, clench my jaw and have goosebumps all over my entire body
+ Blue lights
+ The feeling of underwear underneath clothing
+ Light touch of ANY kind, especially a stray hair
+ The texture, smell and taste of Pineapples
+ Children screeching or crying
+ Glossy paper

*Having to smell or be around any strong scents, but especially anything sulfuric. Worse when someone expects me to eat some nasty sulfur smelling food.
*Wet socks
*Walking on a dirty floor without shoes
*The sight, sound, existence of soggy cereal products like breakfast cereals with milk, bread with melted butter on it, bread crumbs, watching people "sop something up" with a piece of bread.
*Tomatoes...anything tomatoes
*Milk
*Watching hearing smelling other people eat unless it is an extremely neutral food
*Having to smell other people's unwashed scalps
*Feeling dirty or unwashed
*Loud music, loud tv, especially loud commercials
*Screaming children
*Having a runny or stuffed nose
*Nausea
*Being wet from a shower
*Being overly full
*Having to hug multiple people at a time
*Feeling closed in or blocked by someone else's body
*Synthetic material, tight clothes, tags on my skin

Someone tapping, or someone petting their arm or leg or someone else's arm or leg, or making any sort of repetitive noise. Those are the worst by far and I have to leave the room or get them to stop or I'm afraid I'll go seriously violent.

Other things that I react violently to:

Certain sounds, like bluegrass music on bad speakers, or loud bass
Certain textures, like that fabric that catches on skin, or rough itchy fabric, or tags
Tight clothing around my neck, arms, waist, or seams or holes in my socks
Being touched
Making eye contact

Cold water, cold weather, anything cold, chalk, sand, pungent smells, oily things, high-pitched noises from anything living or non-living, itchy or tight clothing, eye contact and that is all off the top of my head for now.
