    Specifically things that don't hurt.

    For instance, the feeling of washing your hands but you're wearing long sleeves and you feel a drop of water run down your arm. Ugh, I hate the way that feels so much.

    What about you? Got any sensory pet peeves?
     
    Sweating. It feels absolutely disgusting, is accompanied by an uncomfortable warmth, means clothes get stuck to me - socks especially - and it means the weather is hot and sunny and I despise warm weather. Sweating is anathema to me ._.
     
    Certain textures can get to me. Yesterday I was using a special sort of paper towel for cleaning windows and before it got wet, ugggggggh it was so terrible to grab.

    I hate when my clothes get wet too. So it's less "water's going down my arm" and more "ugh the cuff of my sleeve is wet". It's probably a huge reason why I don't like wearing long sleeves, actually... the other being that I generally don't like cloth on my arms for too long. If it has long sleeves and isn't a robe or jacket, I want nothing to do with it.
     
    *shudder*

    Another thing I can't stand is the sensation of my nails bending. Gah, I feel like I need to include a trigger warning with that.
     
    I've got a lot of these, yay autism. I really, really hate things that feel slimy though. Egg yolk on my hands is the worst by far.

    I don't mind slimy textures but the thought of handling a raw egg made me gag.

    I got another one: damp socks. (;≧皿≦)
     
    Certain textures here too. Like velvet? It's awful. That holographic shit they made school agendas out of? Hated it.

    For me, I hate my feet getting cold.
     
    i'm sensitive to a lot of textures. i hate carpet. i can tolerate it against my feet like i don't think too much about it there and feet aren't as sensitive as fingers but like. if i'm sitting on the floor and have to touch it with my hand...like the thought alone makes me want to puke, it's that bad. my texture sensitivity is mainly with food, though. anything slimy...looking at you, oysters. and any fat on meat. i will go out of my way to cut around it or even hack it off my food even if it takes some of the good stuff with it...i just can't. it's nasty. and i didn't like pasta for a LONG time bc my mom cooked it too long making it too squishy for my liking. i hate hot shrimp. specifically hot shrimp. that's the worst texture to me. but i can eat cold shrimp. lmfao ???? i used to hate really crunchy things too but i got over that one somehow...i also won't eat meat that is shaped weird bc my brain alert says 'there's fat in there don't do it' so even when i'm like. cutting meat. i try to make sure it's not cut into a shape that i wouldn't eat.

    but um maybe back to more normal things ummmm i hate my feet getting cold but i won't wear socks around the apartment so i just tuck them into a blanket. i hate touching wet things so doing dishes is a nightmare. that's about all i can think of for now, most of my problems are with food.
     
    I really hate the feeling of wind constantly blowing on my ears. If I'm outside for too long on a windy day, I start to get a headache. I also don't like loud vibrating noises because they hurt my ears too. In terms of food, the only thing I can think of is Greek yogurt. I can tolerate mixed with other things, but Greek yogurt alone is so bitter.
