Sensory things that drive you nuts that no one else gets...

Post Reply New Topic

I am usually sensitive to temprature, especially cold (my dad will confirm this if you ask him what I do whenever he opens any window!) but for some reason my feet are not included in this... Weird.

Are they soft too? I love soft things touching my body, as long as the touch itself isn't too soft. For that reason I love to wear fleece. I need to get my fleece sweater washed so I can start wearing ti again.

Yes, soft and fluffy. I don't know if I've worn fleece or not.

I pretty much hate the cold. And winter (evil season.). I preffer to be hot over cold, any day... not that I like to be overheated, either.

Fleece is the softest thing you can make a sweater out of, and I think it gets its name from fleece as in sheep's wool which is also called fleece, simply cuz it looks like the coat of wool it is wearing. I cannot stand wearing wool thoug, wool is way too rough.

I hate Canadian winters. Very cold at times, and I cannot wear too thick of a coat or I will sweat and that is even worse of a feeling than being cold. I do however love winter sports and snowboarding in particular.

Wool is itchy. *Twitch*
I'm not fond of sweaters... long sleeves drive me nuts (except on coats, which I can tolerate.)
Still not sure if I've ever worn it but I think my mom has some things made of fleece... maybe. Dunno.

Yep, I like being warm, or what people call "stuffy" rooms.

~Labels in clothing.
~Artificial fabric of clothing, like nylon, viscose, elastane, polyesters, etc.
~People who have the urge to touch me, time and time again.
~Sounds that continue on and on like, vacuum cleaners, high pitch sounds that some lamps and other electrical stuff make sometimes, the sounds that those cooling things on my computer and monitor make (the resonance), diesel or other car engines left on and continue near my place, etc.
~Situations where there's too much noise and you try to have a conversation with someone. People (and kids) that interrupt frequently, disturbing my train of thought. Conversations where more people speak at once. That sort of stuff confuses the heck out of me.
~Lotions and stuff. I go pale from them.

Maybe not direct sensory stuff but annoying never the less:

~IGNORANCE!
~LIARS and BEHIND THE BACK going people!
~People staring at me for ages (so stupid and rude).

I like it when it's around 80 degrees F.

Some fabrics, yes. But for me it's fingernails on polyester or similar fabrics (the ever-famed nails on a chalkboard actually doesn't bother me a bit!). Besides that I was never that girly and despite Mom trying to convince me that pantyhose under a skirt are just as warm as long johns and jeans, it's the feel of the fabric that drives me insane.

(Let's see: going somewhere with Mom and Dad on a bitter cold February morning in Michigan with a 35mph, -20 wind chill blowing straight up my arse. Which would be more effective: Sheer pantyhose only slightly stronger than toilet paper but not as strong as notebook paper, or a solid pair of long johns and heavy work jeans?)

I hate wearing my school jumper cos it doesn't allow my skin to "breathe".

I like soft clothes. I got a pashmina for Christmas, it's really nice and it keeps me warm in winter.

I have a dressing gown which I wear a lot when I can't be bothered to get dressed, but I feel weird cos it's a bit frumpy, and I care how I look as well.

For some reason, my feet aren't that sensitive to cold, even when they look blue, LOL.

Really? I think my thermostat is broken, as I have it set to 65, but it feels like 72, and it reads 65. I cannot stand 65, but 72 is just perfect... I hardly like 69/70, it has to be roughly 72.

I hate refresh rates of monitors, my step brother's is set to max @ 85Hz and the monitor isn't doing 85, I can see it flickering like mad. I can't see it when it's at 100 though.

I was touching some flour and the texture was horrific. I took my hands out and refused to do anything with it until it was changed back.

Cheese - just talking about it makes me want to throw up.

I hate the wind blowing on my hair and even more so when the rain is heavy. I don't like anything touching it.

Someone squeezed my shoulder on Friday and I let out a horrified yelp (almost) and moved away. Do people really need to touch like this???

My ex thought I was ticklish when I blatantly said to her, "I don't like being touched on my sides and I'm not ticklish"

Ticking clocks, I hate

Really? I love touching flour. I like how light it is, like powdered air. This is how everytime I cook with flour it ends up everywhere, cos I run my fingers through it and it settles over everything.

using felt-tips... the feel of it sliding along the page, and the sound it makes is......... argh. pencils aren't great either, but nothing near the annoyance of felt-tips.
