Hatred of coarse fabrics and heat

Post Reply New Topic

I know this is a sensory processing issue so I'd imagine others here would relate:

Wearing anything other than soft fabrics makes me eye water-ingly uncomfortable when wearing them, combine that with heat and it progresses to full-blown sensory overload... eww.

I agree.

Trying to imagine someone liking coarse fabrics and heat. Failing.

I think this is very common for people with sensory issues . Things that most of humanity finds merely unpleasant are completely intolerable to people with hypersensitivity to them, or an inability to filter that sensory input.

I'm definitely with you. For me, sweaters are a nightmare. I like to stick with my soft shirts and knit pants

You're not alone.
That said, heat alone is truly horrible enough !

Yes. I hate fabrics with scratchy textures. Makes me constantly tear at my skin to get the feeling to stop.

You're not alone when it comes to hating certain fabrics or heat. I have to have something between my skin and wool otherwise, I would want to scratch my skin raw to get the itchiness to stop. As far as heat goes, I don't like excessive heat, especially at night because I like a cooler room in order for me to get to sleep. I'm the type of person who has the ceiling fan on all year long because sometimes when the heater comes on at night, it gets warm enough to wake me up. Besides, I live in southern California where winters are actually quite warm when compared to the rest of the US.

I dislike uncomfortable fabrics/clothes but I absolutely can't stand being hot. I've always had a serious heat sensitivity. It's so bad that I often begin to feel physically sick if I get too hot (and I'm not talking all that hot).
