Uhm what's wrong with it?
OP has sensory issues related to neurodivergence. It's not uncommon, I have an undiagnosed family member in denial who can't stand touching anything plastic.
Or they have dry hands that catch on stuff like microfiber cloths. I hate touching them when my hands are dry and rough from doing yard work or woodworking, but no issue when they aren't.
There are people who indiscriminately crosspost things between ADHD and autism communities as if they aren't two different conditions.
Triggers bad sensorial feelings in many people
Hmm ig that could be possible but I still don't think it's related to ADHD.
Maybe not, but people with adhd are definitely more likely to talk about something that bothers them
There are no single symptoms that mean you have adhd. But texture sensitivity is sometimes one of them.
To me, it feels almost like I'm touching very fine-grained sandpaper...
Mine was always that fuzzy pillow material that was all the rage either side of 2010.
"It'S sO sOfT! FeEl It!"
It feels greasy and I hate it
Y'all motherfuckers acting like sensory processing issues are exclusive to autism.
Many people with ADHD have sensory issues too
Ok that explains a lot. Thank you
Yup. I very much dislike the feel of microfiber towels. Ugh.
Well, thanks to the comments, TIL that I might hate this because I have really dry hands lol
You know what one of the worst things in the world is?
Those "lenticular" prints, where you can see different pictures if you tilt them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOr9DwI4Rf0
Just... sheer sensory horror. 😬
It’s weird. I’m the opposite. I would run my finger back and forth on them to the point of wearing down my fingernail to make the zippy nose.
When lotion is not cutting it then....
I take 200grit sandpaper to get the rough spots off then use 400grit to get a silky smooth finish. Make sure to do a wet sanding, I use a bit of hand lotion as the wetting agent.
Works well on hands and feet, if your skin is that Velcroy then you won't even notice the sanding has hurt you. Fingers are a bit tender for a few days but it's worth it.
YSK this is actually a bad idea. By repeatedly damaging the skin this way you can actually trigger a nerve condition where the ends of your nerves just send pain signals all the time. People who work in professions where they scrub their hands a lot for their work are at risk of this. It's probably fine to do every once in a while, but don't make it a regular thing.
The chance is small, but I know a few folk who were real men when they were younger so they didn't wear gloves when they really should have. Just don't worry about it and scrub it off was the mindset back then and men wearing PPE were (and sometime are) seen as weak. But they describe the pain as getting stabbed in the hand repeatedly and wish they just wore the gloves.
This, but for cotton wool.
Actually one of the worst textures
