    Inability to wear my wedding ring

    My skin is indeed very sensitive. That's where the bulk of my sensory issues are. I cannot touch hundreds of every day things because they feel foul to me and give me the chills. If I touch something like this I must touch a smooth surface (NOTHING fabric, glass or marble or metal is best) and...

    Inability to wear my wedding ring

    Harrison: It isn't too tight and by loose I mean that there's no reason I should have these feelings because of the ring itself. It's a good fit, just doesn't feel good to me.

    Inability to wear my wedding ring

    It's been nearly 3 years and I still hate it. :(

    Inability to wear my wedding ring

    I can't wear my wedding ring for long periods of time. I might go 1-3 days, but the whole time I am miserable and can't stop thinking about it, and so I eventually take it off. I will go weeks without putting it back on. I feel like it is suffocating my finger, squeezing the veins on my finger...

    Having to sleep with a pillow over my head?

    Hahaha, no, I don't snore at all, actually. This is how I sit most of the time.

    Having to sleep with a pillow over my head?

    The pressure and noise blocking (even though it usually isn't noisy) is very pleasing and likely why I sleep like this as well. I also often sit with one arm hanging over my head (arm rests on the top of my head). It's very comfortable.

    Having to sleep with a pillow over my head?

    Form the time I was a child, I have had to sleep with a pillow over my head. Does anyone else sleep like this?

    I use God's magical herb when I need something.

    Poor pizza kid...

    For me, it's just that I don't want to talk to people. I won't even answer the phone unless I know who it is, and if I know who it is, I think of a reason they would be calling me, and if I can't come up with one (most of the time), they can leave a message. If my wife isn't home, you're pretty...

    Touching and rubbing my face at almost all times?

    Sometimes I try to fit in and worry about what others thinks, and then other times I just don't care. It all depends on the day. Very good point about taking criticism for being yourself!

    Touching and rubbing my face at almost all times?

    It makes me feel very comfortable and peaceful when I'm touching and rubbing my face. If I don't want to do it - of rather, if I try not to - it takes a lot of thinking and effort and is very uncomfortable. It doesn't personally bother me, but my my wife and mother always nag me about touching...

    Touching and rubbing my face at almost all times?

    I would say that I have social anxiety, but being an Aspie I don't like being social to begin with. I spend most of my time at home, and even then I touch and rub my face at all times.

    He was looking for 102. I'm 202, it wasn't for me, just a mistake.

    Poor pizza kid...

    I absolutely hate when people knock at my door, especially when I am not expecting anyone. Tonight my wife was not home, and after it got dark outside someone knocked at my door, loudly. I wasn't expecting anyone. I ignored it, and so the person knocked more violently and loudly. That really...

    Touching and rubbing my face at almost all times?

    I stim by rubbing my feet together, rubbing my thumb across my fingers in a snapping motion without the snap (usually), by twitching my body muscles to an in-sync rhythm, and by moving my eyebrows and ears. I'm wondering if it's also a stim to constantly touch and rub your (my) face at all...
