The way that glassware feels when it first comes out of the dishwasher and you’ve just washed your hands.
Dry clothes on wet skin.
People who smack when they chew
Lisps. I can hear even a slight one
Dry pasta sauce stuck to the lid or the entrance, I hate it.
-Oil/butter on the cap or outside of the bottle/container it’s in. I don’t want to feel the oil when turning the cap or opening the container.
-Spaces that ventilate so hard the air feels dry and just makes you thirsty (most retail spaces).
-New car headlights that might as well be your brights.
-Standing in shower water. I need that water to flow down the drain… if it starts backing up, I’m not showering. I’m cleaning out the drain.
-How to describe this… my feet in the winter will be cold without socks, but with socks they tend to get warm enough to sweat which then makes them cold and now wrapped in a sock. There’s no winning.Loud music in restaurants
People reacting loudly at sports (sudden clapping, yelling, etc)
Velvet
Leather not letting sweat evaporate

Each line needs to end in a double space for the newline to work.

Like thatOh jeez, that’s incredibly annoying.
Your edit looks like double-enter style. That works without the double-space, but makes two newlines. Bug or feature…
The preview of hereditary rheumatoid arthritis.
Mouth noises and ASMR stuff. Makes me want to break things. Condition’s called misophonia.
Where do I even start? The one that affects me most is that I absolutely can’t stand wearing any pants at all.
I hate the texture of all sorts of porridge and oatmeal with a flaming passion. Wearing a coat indoors for more than five seconds makes me want to punch something. When you’re at a beach, come out of the water, and your feet are covered in sand. (bonus points if you’re trying to put shoes on)
Sandpaper. Dry skin. Dry clay on my skin. A lot of plastic things. Body hair touching me. Dry lips. Sleeves that are too tight around the armpits. Neon colors. Those fucking bright lights that look like they’re made for the purpose of blinding people. Flashing lights. The sound of people chewing or even swallowing loudly. Nearly all beeping sounds.
I have questions.
-
Pants - Do you also not like wearing any shorts? If you don’t have any problems wearing shorts, then how long does a short have to be to stop being a short and start annoying you?
-
Porridge - What about macaroni or chilli ? Do you know that jelly thing with bits of fruit chunks in it? What about that? What happens if your cereal gets too soggy?
-
Coats - Do you live in a warm/humid region? How do you cope with winters when it gets cold? Does a sweater feel different than a coat?
-
I’m with you on the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing.
-
Sandpaper is supposed to be irritating. But is there any correlation between your thing against Sandpaper & the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing?
-
Dry skin? Is it because it reminds you of Sandpaper or sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach ?
-
Dry clay - again, is it correlated to the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing ?
-
Plastic things? Like plastic things just existing & minding their own business or plastic things that touch your skin or the ones that you’re in contact with? What about the kind used in hospitals for IV fluids? Or the so-called BPA free that is used in takeaway containers or food storage?
-
Body hair touching you - WHOSE body hair? Your own body hair or somebody else’s body hair? Does it remind you of wearing a coat? What do you do when you are trying to get physically intimate with someone? Do you avoid the hairy body parts? Aren’t they the most fun?
-
Tight sleeves around the armpits - yeah, I can imagine that. Now I don’t want to imagine it anymore.
-
Neon colours? - okay. To each their own.
-
Yes, people using those bright lights should have Gorilla Glue put in their eyes.
-
Flashing lights - Do you also not like the small twinkling fairy lights? What about blinking festival lights? Do you also not like any flashing traffic lights? Do you ignore flashing traffic lights?
-
Eating or chewing loudly is a sign that you were not loved as a child. I’m with you on this.
-
Beeping sounds - what do you plan to do when you have to be in a hospital? Say you have to visit the dentist & there are beeping sounds from their machines, you’ll have to bear the beeping sounds along with your toothache.
-
Dry hands. I absolutely have to moisturize at all times.
Acrylic blankets and microfiber. I just can’t. Even thinking about it make me cringe.
YES. This stuff just feels sticky. As if it’s latching onto my skin and creating the same feeling I get when someone is rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam against each other, only this time literally palpable.
Is it like hungryphrog’s thing about Sandpaper or the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing? Or is it like hungryphrog’s Coat thing?
I’m not sure what those are, but it’s not sandpaper. It’s like a billion tiny clinging fibers
Children.
I’ve heard that this is instinctual. We have evolved to find crying and upset children intolerable because it motivates us to do something about it.
Children are also exceptional and figuring out how to push our buttons because they instinctively find and repeat behaviors that get a reaction out of their caregivers when they desire attention.
Unfortunately the most motivating emotions are often negative ones.
do something about it
eyes the knife drawer
Store Music
I hate it.
Holiday music. Too repetitive.
A crowd talking.
Basically, it can be summed up as, TOO MUCH FUCKING NOISE
(I just want some silence 🥲)
When hurricane Beryl hit us, Target was on generators with very minimal lighting and no music. It was such a great shopping experience, that I flagged down the manager and asked them to do this full time.
Of course they didn’t. But man, I miss that.
There’s a supermarket nearby that has a ‘quiet hour’ every day, mostly aimed at neurodivergent customers. I try to go at that time, it’s a much less stressful experience.
earplugs have been a game changer for me. i haven’t been shopping without them for the last six months.
Some noise I do like though, if a store is dead quiet it feels like you can’t talk to anyone or even ask a vendor a question without being the attention of everyone in the surrounding area. There is a bit of privacy to a bit of noise. Though I agree to much is terrible.
Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it’s louder than what i would consider normal.
At one office i worked in the guy on the other side of the cubicle wall from me was a loud eater and constant snacker. Drove me insane. Sound of people eating just completely puts me on edge.
I have this happening right now. He likes crunchy food but chews it weirdly slow so the sounds happen for longer.
Me too, it makes me so irrationally angry.
I have so many. Here are some top ones:
- Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
- Stepping on something wet
- Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
- Most mouth sounds in general
How do people manage to BITE a fork and drag it out? How do they not immediately blow their brains out afterwards?
Idk it hurts my skeleton just thinking about it.
The only thing worse for me is imagining the feeling of biting down on a damp popsicle stick and pulling it slowly out of your teeth.
I don’t like you
I don’t blame you
sluuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrp
Touching cardboard, I have realized how rough and dirty it is.
Stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.
Finally!! Somebody else who hates touching cardboard! :D
I have many sensory problems, but cardboard-touching is definitely the worst.
Crumbfoot!!!
I hate it to the point that I vacuum and wipe the floors in the common areas by hand everyday.
Detached pubic hair.
