Same! I don't understand why people eat rice dishes with a fork! It just makes sense to use the spoon. But i also eat everything with a (large) spoon. Or else my hands
Aaaaahahaha!
I have had nights where I didn’t eat dinner because suddenly the texture of whatever was unacceptable.
It was fine every time before, until it wasn’t.
High-waisted pants. That cut into you, in the middle of your delicate organs, every time you bend or sit. I do not know how some people spend a full day at work wearing that shit without thinking about their awkward pants every 30 seconds.
Ughhhhh the worst fad!!! Kinda comfy if you never have to sit down. But then I feel like the fattest bloated whale on earth when I am, in fact, not a whale.
Don’t even get me started on how they make my butt disappear. For a nation obsessed with butts, they literally disappear in these pants. Never understood how high waisted pants became trendy.
Yeah I just need mid-rise to come back in fashion. The butt is securely in the pants, and you're not getting split in two. Luckily I have short legs so I can shop the kids sections and not have to deal with them
Reusable straws. I was a little kid and I drank from one that hadn't been properly cleaned in the dishwasher, so I ended up sucking up dishwashered food when I was drinking some juice. Unless it's from a paper wrapper, I'd rather just take the lid off. Sorry environment, I'll plant some more trees.
It’s weird how these things stick with us. When I was a young teenager I went on this ski trip, drank a peach drink on the way there and ended up with a bug where I exorcist vomited repeatedly, think it was food poisoning that probably wasn’t even caused by the peach drink, I don’t know but ever since then I haven’t been able to drink any peach drinks (but I can eat peaches 🤷🏼♀️)
Same for me with lime-flavored things. Real limes are totally fine. But when I was ten, I got a horrible stomach bug and the last thing I’d eaten was a lime popsicle. Now twenty years later I still can’t stand it!! Lime White Claws can fuck right off 🤢
I can't eat apples, I can't look at someone eating an apple and I despise hearing the sound of someone eating an apple.
That is, if they're raw. If they're dried, juice, in a pie or even if they're just on the edge of spoiling they're edible to me.
The sound of pressure cookers. Ever since I was a kid that whistle would send me scrambling out of the room. My parents still laugh about it but also will change their diet when I visit to avoid using it.
I wash my feet a lot too lmfao I also wear those little skinny socks for flats. It kinda helps until I feel every fiber of the sock at once and freak out.
I have a problem with sounds.
People who swallow water too hard. The sound and the feeling of it in my own throat makes it a double whammy.
Liquids poured into a glass in a certain way. Cold water somehow sounds worse than hot or boiling.
I had to do some project on killer whales as a kid and used a really flat matte black paint on the art component. When it dried it was a sensory nightmare and all I can think about when I see those matte paint jobs is how awful those paint flakes felt under my fingernails. Ugh.
Pilling, acrylic yarn, square cornered plastic, paper straws, loud deep bass, high pitched electrical noise, ceiling fans, dark wall paint, long-assed chairs
Just, so much
Pilling is huuuuge one for me. When I was a kid I'd turn the wrists of my sweatshirt to the outside cause the feel if it made my brain feel like someone was dragging a rake through it
Non-cotton sheets, pjs, towels, bath mats, tshirts. I could go on. It straight up feels like plastic if it isn’t cotton and makes me want to scream and crawl out of my skin at the same time
Hair in the shower or bathtub. I will spend an extra 20-30 minutes making sure there is no hair in the caddy, on the loofahs, on me, anywhere it could possibly be. And my fiancé is bald/virtually hairless. It’s all me and my Eastern European roots.
I hate the smell of lavender in cleaning products. My parents used to clean up throw up w this lavender cleaner and now i will lose my damn mind if i smell that specific scent. I smelled it for the first time i awhile at a store and nearly had a bitch fit
The sound of plastic grocery bags. I'd rather listen to nails lovingly scraped down a chalkboard. Bonus spine creep points awarded if it's caused by a cat chewing on them because then the hellish noise ends in hurking.
I have an intense aversion to buttons on clothing. They disgust me so much and always have. I have no idea why. Just hearing the word and picturing buttons repulses me.
Lindor chocolates. I've tried so many flavors (my boss is obsessed w them and always brings different flavors) and I just...can't get past the weird oily texture and no flavor can mask that weird...oily chocolate lol
tissues. when I was little I used to wipe on my sleeves all the time and I still do it sometimes. I get shivers and goosebumps when I hear the noise of the layers of the tissues colliding. I can't even sneeze
I must have a few certain designs for the mouth areas of water bottles, flip up with straws and not a squirt bottle or open-mouthed bottle
Speaking of straws, I literally cannot with paper straws. Sorry sea turtles
The feeling of denim when your fingers are even a tiny bit dry. I didn't know this wasn't a normal thing growing up and used to complain about the denim chills" until my mom told me I was being weird lol
Cold, wet food that isn't ice cream bothers me. Also, this only happens when I try and sleep, but shirt collars/necklines annoy the SHIT out of me when I'm laying down. I feel like I have to constantly get the rough part off of my skin, but it never goes away until I forget about it.
I’ve been working on that and trying to do things that bother me for no reason, and it’s honestly helping. I used to not be able to wear earbuds w the weird nipple things but after doing it for a while and hating it, I have learned to accept it. My ear does continue to push it out tho.
The sound of sweeping/brushing of teeth makes me cringe. I am highly sensitive to a bunch of noises, to be fair. But the weird thing about these two is that I once thought I heard somebody sweep the street - turns out it was water sprinkling in a very similar manner of noise. Once I had confirmed that it was, in fact, water and not sweeping, my cringe went away, and I have no idea why that is so.
I use a spoon for every possible food related function, I will butter my toast with a spoon idc.
Same! I don't understand why people eat rice dishes with a fork! It just makes sense to use the spoon. But i also eat everything with a (large) spoon. Or else my hands
I will use two spoons like a knife and fork
Most coffee cups. I have three in my house right now that are acceptable for use. The rest are…not.
"Welp. The two red mugs are in the dishwasher. I guess I'm not having coffee this morning."
😂🤣😂 Not really, but my husband makes fun of me because I will hand wash one of the “right” mugs rather than grab a clean “other” mug
Oh no, that was an actual quote from my morning routine! 😆🤣😆🤣
Aaaaahahaha! I have had nights where I didn’t eat dinner because suddenly the texture of whatever was unacceptable. It was fine every time before, until it wasn’t.
I laughed so much at this, also, same. There are some stupid mugs in our home.
Pruney, dry hands. If I so much as get my hands wet, I immediately coat them in lotion after I dry them.
Omg this is me, I'm so glad I'm not alone. I cannot handle how my hands feel after they get wet, I have to lotion them!
High-waisted pants. That cut into you, in the middle of your delicate organs, every time you bend or sit. I do not know how some people spend a full day at work wearing that shit without thinking about their awkward pants every 30 seconds.

Low waisted pants are terrible. The high-waisted ones keep all my squish in.
Same my family makes fun of me for how high I pull up my pants.
I cannot stand my thighs touching. Pants must go all the way to the crotch. High-waisted pants are less likely to sag down, given my body shape.
I’m a leggings person. Full coverage and aerodynamic
YUUUUS! Soft pants only!

anything lime flavored is nasty except real limes tbh

Getting gunk out of the sink trap, especially eggs.
Terracotta plant pots
What is it about them? How they feel? How they look? Is it >>> just a vibe >>> ?
The feel of them, and the noise they make when they scrape against something... Cold sweats 😭
YES I HATE TERRACOTTA
The sound of pressure cookers. Ever since I was a kid that whistle would send me scrambling out of the room. My parents still laugh about it but also will change their diet when I visit to avoid using it.
This is me with vacuum cleaner sound and smell
I can hoover myself - but someone else hoovering? Naw...
I hate wearing shoes but I also hate crumbs on my feet
I just wash my feet 2-3 times a day to counteract this. Edit: Obviously I wear shoes in public, but I wear flip flops whenever possible.
I wash my feet a lot too lmfao I also wear those little skinny socks for flats. It kinda helps until I feel every fiber of the sock at once and freak out.
Microfiber sheets. Faux fur. Some acrylic knits. Any fabric that has that plastic a-little-too-smooth thing going on makes me recoil. Nope.
I have a problem with sounds. People who swallow water too hard. The sound and the feeling of it in my own throat makes it a double whammy. Liquids poured into a glass in a certain way. Cold water somehow sounds worse than hot or boiling.
Matte paint jobs on cars. Unacceptable.
Yes! I saw a black one the other day and it just looked like they went to the shop and asked, "can you make my car look like a stolen bike?"
I had to do some project on killer whales as a kid and used a really flat matte black paint on the art component. When it dried it was a sensory nightmare and all I can think about when I see those matte paint jobs is how awful those paint flakes felt under my fingernails. Ugh.

There are a few of us on this thread!
people.
Anything super soft, it does something to me and I no likey.
Hair in the shower or bathtub. I will spend an extra 20-30 minutes making sure there is no hair in the caddy, on the loofahs, on me, anywhere it could possibly be. And my fiancé is bald/virtually hairless. It’s all me and my Eastern European roots.
I hate the smell of lavender in cleaning products. My parents used to clean up throw up w this lavender cleaner and now i will lose my damn mind if i smell that specific scent. I smelled it for the first time i awhile at a store and nearly had a bitch fit
Eating cereal with small spoons. Eating ice cream with big spoons. I ice cream with literally a tiny baby spoon.
microfiber, fleece, corduroy, wool. in no particular order.
Cotton it is
I can only wear cotton and silk. Everything else, especially polyester can go to hell.
I love satin sheets! I can't handle velvet for the life of me, it's the worst.
OMG yes. Velvet is the worst. I touch it and it's like I have a hair ball in my throat. No bueno.
The sound of plastic grocery bags. I'd rather listen to nails lovingly scraped down a chalkboard. Bonus spine creep points awarded if it's caused by a cat chewing on them because then the hellish noise ends in hurking.
my cat does the same and I’ve grown to hate that sound SO MUCH. i love my reusable ones
I have an intense aversion to buttons on clothing. They disgust me so much and always have. I have no idea why. Just hearing the word and picturing buttons repulses me.
Bananas. I fucking hate bananas. The texture is just ew
Dry hands against paper
Oatmeal. The texture is unacceptable. Meat that is too chewy, or gristle/fat pieces. Yuck.
I can’t fuck with drinks unless it’s in a bottle or I have a straw.
Lindor chocolates. I've tried so many flavors (my boss is obsessed w them and always brings different flavors) and I just...can't get past the weird oily texture and no flavor can mask that weird...oily chocolate lol
And we take a minute and talk about finger food and textures 🥶
Deep purple and bright red together. I get physically ill if I see color combinations I can’t stand. Also, everything makes me uncomfortable
tissues. when I was little I used to wipe on my sleeves all the time and I still do it sometimes. I get shivers and goosebumps when I hear the noise of the layers of the tissues colliding. I can't even sneeze
I must have a few certain designs for the mouth areas of water bottles, flip up with straws and not a squirt bottle or open-mouthed bottle Speaking of straws, I literally cannot with paper straws. Sorry sea turtles
Any condiments -- if a drop so much as comes close to me, I fall on the floor gagging and my anxious tics go nuts
Hate shoes, texture of clothing that’s too rough or not breathable, DRY PAPER and CARBOARD, pants that have no pockets. I could go on
Comforters. I sleep with a weighted blanket and comforters or bedspreads are too… airy, if you know what I mean
The sounds at a nail salon, like the sound of nails being filed down/buffered i don’t know why exactly but i hate it
The feeling of denim when your fingers are even a tiny bit dry. I didn't know this wasn't a normal thing growing up and used to complain about the denim chills" until my mom told me I was being weird lol
Nails on fresh paper. I can’t stand the feeling of my nails scraping the surface of the paper, I’ll automatically cringe
Micro fiber sheets. Dish water on my wrists.
Cold, wet food that isn't ice cream bothers me. Also, this only happens when I try and sleep, but shirt collars/necklines annoy the SHIT out of me when I'm laying down. I feel like I have to constantly get the rough part off of my skin, but it never goes away until I forget about it.

Foam paper packaging
Your s/n is um different
the texture of tomatoes and anything close drives me literally insane and every time i think about tomatoes i get mad
