What kinds of things bother you?

Post Reply New Topic

What are you bothered by when it comes to things like jewelry or other miscellaneous items? for example, I remember when I was a wee child that party hats were always uncomfortable due to the string and the hat constantly sliding off. Another big thing is that I can't wear watches for very long as well as glasses. I don't like the feeling of my glasses sliding off my face or noticing a tiny little blurry spot or a speck of some random particle. I remember that for my 8th grade graduation ceremony I was really upset because I thought I was only walking the line and not actually graduating. I only agreed to go if I could wear my favorite hoodie ( I really like hoodies). My mom wanted me to wear a polo shirt, but to me those are uncomfortable...

Rough materials such as tweed would cause me to itch.... As for watches, I'll have to wear mine loose enough, or I'll be constantly tugging it up and down my wrist. I'm wary of wearing bracelets made from certain metals, as I have eczema. I was also in this hoodie wearing phase when I was around 13-14 years old; I guess you could call it my 'security blanket', and I felt rather exposed if I wasn't wearing one. I'm now 17, and I've managed to wean myself off the hoodies. However I still wear the same outfits every week, since I've gotten so used to the feel of the material.

The tag on the neck of shirts - I'm sure there's a better way to phrase that? I HATE those damn things. And if you cut them off, it's even worse, because a little bit will be left, and it will be sharper & even more annoying, OR, if you actually remove the thread holding the tag, you'll probably create a hole in the shirt, which will get bigger and bigger...

Underpants, bras, shirt and pants tags. The feeling of socks. Jewelry of any kind. Hair clips of any kind...including just plain hair touching my face -_- I almost want to do a pixie cut but I don't think I have the face for short hair.
The feeling of glasses is annoying but unfortunately my eyesight is pretty poor so I have to wear them most of the time.

Sun Glasses( unfortunately I wear reading glasses and had to adjust to them ), clothing tags, bright colors, things in my pockets when I'm working, and tight clothing.

Nail polish on my fingernails - feels like I can't breath. I'm ok with it on my toes though.

Not keen on jewelery or wool on my skin either. Lots of NTs don't like wool though - I don't think that is an AS thing.

Anyone else have the same issue with nail polish?

That noise the kettle makes when it's about to boil, oh, and microwaves. They give me headaches. I just have to distance myself or not bother.

As someone else mentioned ... tags ...
I can deal with some, but others are too stiff, and they end up poking/tickling me.

Also, I mainly like plain clothes. I do have some shirts with graphics on them that I like, but otherwise, most of my clothing is plain.

Safety glasses ... a very important item, I do wear them ... but fogging up can get annoying, and scratches on them can be annoying as well. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to them
I'd much rather be annoyed than to loose/damage my eyesight.

Short socks ... I don't like them.
Either I go around barefoot, or I wear socks that are somewhat long. (maybe 5-6 inches up my leg, or thereabouts)

Poorly designed wall-warts/SMPS. (AKA the black-boxed "charger" cord thing)
Why?
They can make a high-pitched whistle or whining noise.
I can hear that across the room as well ... a few I have found actually had faulty capacitors, and when I replaced the capacitors, the noise went away.

Modern design.
As in, "simplifying" things.
All too often, it ends up making things either:
1. Non-intuitive, more difficult to use.
2. Generic/not very unique looking.
Also, modern architecture falls under this category for me. I don't get what is so awesome about a simple white box, when you can have a muti-faceted box with different colors, patterns, and textures on it.

Sudden loud noises, specifically, those caused directly by people.
Such as, if someone screams suddenly. My heart races and I get really angry all of a sudden. Usually I can keep myself under control, but sometimes not. LOL

When someone asks me to do something (or demanding me to) while I am programming. I can concentrate very hard on it, and when someone "derails" my "train of thought" ... well, it's no longer on a track, so it tends to want to go everywhere XDXDXD

Being forced to "be a part of the group".
Maybe I don't like socializing as much as other people?...
And, perhaps it makes me very uncomfortable? ... ehhh? Ya know?
XD

There are many more things that bother me (shh, I'm not pessimistic! lol), but, one of the worst is people who pick on Aspergers.
Such as saying "asspie", "ass-burgers", etc...
Or, such as making fun of them for being different (too many ways to explain here, but I think most of you know exactly what I will say XD)
