I'm a major sensory seeker/avoider. Some things I love- being squeezed, feeling some smooth textures like glass, tearing perforated paper. I also find looking at some things or images to be calming. Awful things- the feel of magazine pages, cardboard, or newspapers, anything that's supposed to be super-soft or microfiber feels really awful, light touches like hairs on me or the short sleeve of someone's shirt sitting next to me on the couch makes me angry. Every time my husband opens our door, even if I know it's coming, the sound of it grinding on the door frame makes me jump out of my skin. I also get really disoriented and anxious when there's a lot of sound and movement, i.e. crowded restaurants, fire drills, parties. Pretty much wedge myself in a corner with one person I know and try to stay sane.
Luckily because of where I work, I can work around most of my stuff without looking strange.
