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.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

The preview of hereditary rheumatoid arthritis.

-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.
Example.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Or use a \ at the end of a line
Like that

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh jeez, that's incredibly annoying.

[–] Tehdastehdas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Your edit looks like double-enter style. That works without the double-space, but makes two newlines. Bug or feature...

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Detached pubic hair.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Mouth noises and ASMR stuff. Makes me want to break things. Condition’s called misophonia.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] spykee@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I have questions.

  1. 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?

  2. 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?

  3. 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?

  4. I'm with you on the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing.

  5. 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?

  6. Dry skin? Is it because it reminds you of Sandpaper or sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach ?

  7. Dry clay - again, is it correlated to the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing ?

  8. 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?

  9. 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?

  10. Tight sleeves around the armpits - yeah, I can imagine that. Now I don't want to imagine it anymore.

  11. Neon colours? - okay. To each their own.

  12. Yes, people using those bright lights should have Gorilla Glue put in their eyes.

  13. 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?

  14. Eating or chewing loudly is a sign that you were not loved as a child. I'm with you on this.

  15. 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.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Dry hands. I absolutely have to moisturize at all times.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Acrylic blankets and microfiber. I just can't. Even thinking about it make me cringe.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] spykee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not sure what those are, but it's not sandpaper. It's like a billion tiny clinging fibers

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Touching cardboard, I have realized how rough and dirty it is.

Stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Crumbfoot!!!

I hate it to the point that I vacuum and wipe the floors in the common areas by hand everyday.

Finally!! Somebody else who hates touching cardboard! :D

I have many sensory problems, but cardboard-touching is definitely the worst.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Bass(Musical bass), the sound of metal cutlery scrapping against themselves, and the "sss" sound that seems exaggerated for sleep related podcasts.

[–] ghewl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Nail filing, chalk on chalk boards, using the eraser on chalk boards

Corduroy...

[–] gac11@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Any sort of collar on a shirt except surprisingly dress shirts. Also tags on shirts, but those are slowly disappearing so I'm getting the option to not buy tagged shirts.

I blame it on an itchy wool sweater I wore when I was a kid that is my earliest sense of the feeling.

Just talking/thinking about itchy collars can give me goosebumps!

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Dry, dirty hands after working in the garden. I mean dry.

Sharp Scrape of utensil on plate.

A thick seam on socks at the toes.

Too-tight clothing.

Repetitive noise.

Sometimes people chewing. Or talking around chewing.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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 🥲)

Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it's louder than what i would consider normal.

Barking. It drives me absolutely mad.

Unfortunately in the US people are OBSESSED with dogs. Everyone has one and so many people just leave them outside to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and.... :/

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have a cat. She is currently emitting no noise and is a moderate grey color.

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I read "she is emiting a moderately grey color"

[–] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is how you can easily differentiate people and assholes. Assholes leave their dogs outside.

Yeah I used to go for a walk at my old neighborhood and one dog would start barking then the next and the next and soon I would have the whole neighborhood barking just by walking around the block.

Also my old neighborhood my neighbor will leave for work at 6:00 in the morning and his dog would woefully and loudly bark for a solid hour after he left.

Fibers snagging on a chewed or broken nail

[–] renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 37 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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

Microfiber towels sticking to dry skin on your hands like velcro. Soggy sandwich bread. The way cotton balls feel and sound when you pull them apart. Non-skid on bare feet. Wooden utensils or popsicle stick wood on my tongue. Being touched by dogs with wet beards. Trying to sleep in bed with dirty feet. Synthetic fragrances.

I'm sure there's more.

This miiiiight not be a sensory thing, but here goes.

To me, everything has, like, a correct feeling it has to give before leaving it to rest. If not, it's a little too rough, or smooth, it just feels off. And I can keep feeling it after stopping touching it. And anytime I look at the object. I can feel it when I watch a movie or show and someone puts something down in some indescribably wrong way.

To be clear, this isn't a placement thing. Organization and whatnot don't matter, it's just like "Oh my foot just dragged forward on the carpet, that was weird and rough forward, now I have to do it backward to make it feel right," or "I just out that down and from the sound, I can tell it went down wrong. I gotta go adjust it." That loops until I get it just right, usually a process of 2-45 minutes.

My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.

She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.
