Touch and the shivers.

[apsie]

Sounds like a girlband

Are there any things that give you an uncomfortable feeling when you touch them?
For example, I can't stand the mere idea of paper in my mouth.
Or scratching a piece of wood with my fingernails, it makes the hairs on my arm stand up.

 

[Cerulean]

Fine powders. Flour, talc, chalk dust.

 

[Judge]

I know if tin foil comes into contact with my tongue or teeth it's something I can't stand.

I don't like lacquer thinner touching my skin either....yuck. I'm also careful not to get vegetable oil on my hands.

 

[Harrison]

Cold metal and engine oil against bare skin. I go through so many gloves at work my boss thinks I'm selling them.

 

[Kari Suttle]

Freshly trimmed fingernails directly touching anything makes me very uncomfortable. And while its a different sense, i can't stand the feel or taste of licking envelopes sealed. I make a point to never do that though, haven't for years. I just fold them closed instead. Its wasted effort too, to me at least. I also hate getting my hands dirty/greasy/etc during a meal, even if i'm eating pizza. I'll wipe my hands (and often mouth) way too often throughout a meal like pizza even though the effort is futile cause i'm not done eating yet.

 

[SyAn]

Oh where to start . . .

One example: Some fabrics - I never buy clothes online because I need to touch before I buy to see whether my skin likes the fabric

 

[zurb]

As a kid I didn't like the feel of either corduroy or denim.

 

[clg114]

I do not like wool touching my skin. It feels itchy.

 

[Zjezdzaj]

When cotton balls or the shower curtain make contact with my skin I want to scream.

I also can't stand the feel of having dough on my hands.

 

[zurb]

Today my son was rubbing two wooden clothes pegs together. The sound made my skin crawl.

 

[Randomperson]

I do not like wool touching my skin. It feels itchy.

That is because wool IS ITCHY! Sheep are the devils minions, their wool is the devils touch.

 

[AsheSkyler]

Standard stuff with me.

Nails on a chalkboard, fork screeching on a plate, certain very strange materials that make funny vibrations and noises when your nails accidentally scrape them wrong. Same with cars too, sometimes my nails hit the metal wrong and makes this really hard to reproduce vibration.

Ah, and plastic shower curtains. Do not like. They are so clingy. I look like a cartoon about a cat scrambling frantically in a blind, or maybe a diagram of a hungry amoeba, when those evil shower curtains try to assimilate me or be my best friend or whatever runs through their clingy little minds.

As a kid I didn't like the feel of either corduroy or denim.

Oh, I had forgotten about that! I didn't mind denim (LOVED to wear jeans anytime I was allowed to) but was completely disturbed and disgusted by corduroy. Ew!

I still love wearing jeans, though I'm really picky about the cut, texture, and even the color. I don't mind corduroy too much now, if everything else about the pants is right (cut, color, fit).

Still can't stand aluminum foil, especially fresh from the box. That's gotten worse, even just recently.

I have to have really comfortable shoes. When I was a kid, I despised anything but white tennis shoes, which was a problem with the school's dress code. But I wore them to church, even though I had to wear a dress. I hated dressing up.

Wool touching my skin makes me feel panicky.

while its a different sense, i can't stand the feel or taste of licking envelopes sealed.

Maybe a help with envelopes. Especially the ones that really need be sealed like bill payments. Use water. I seal all my envelopes with a couple drops or trickle of tap water. Hold envelope under tap so the drops or trickle run down the glue surface just enough to get some wet on the glue, let sit about 3 to 5 seconds for the water to activate the glue, then close the flap and if the touch of the paper is a problem then use something to press the glued part tight. Like a spoon or small sponge or something. Small sponges attached to a handle and with a matched water container are made and available for this. I have seen one but do not know where it was bought.

OMG I HATE plastic shower curtains... I swear those things are possessed by demons with the way they try to absorb me whenever I go near them, their texture is so gross, and the sound they make is awful *shudder*

I can't stand the feel of that nasty itchy fabric they cover bus seats with. The weird whistley/hissy sound buses sometimes make is also horrible.

 

[Structrix]

I get shivers from touch especially at places like the hair salon where I am being touched lightly to ticklish.

Have you ever thought of eating pizza with a knife and fork?
