Rubbing things against your mouth/face?

Post Reply New Topic

I do this a lot. The reason why I do this is because it feels good on my face. One of my favorite things to rub against my face is a hairbrush because I like the soothing scratching and tingly feeling. I do it for sensory pleasure. Feels good man

I just rub my beard all the time. pull hairs out. Scratch at imperfections on my skin until I have bleeding wounds. Especially if it hurts, then I do it more. I do touch things to my lips a lot, dig my nails between my teeth and under my gum line. Scratch/scrape my teeth with my nails or smash a toothpick until it is a nub with fibers splayed everywhere. Spitting bits out all the time. I don't taste things well at all. I accidentally eat rotten food if am not vigilant. Definitely a sensory processing (seeking) behavior. It is polar opposite with my over sensitive eyes and ears.

I used to lick everything as a kid. To feel it's texture on my toungue. My mother has undiagnosed OCD and that about drove her crazy. She was always going on about how I would catch some horrible disease but I never did.

I like to rub fuzzy stuff across my lips.

I like to rub my forearm/wrist hair across my lips.

OMG ME TOO!! i've been recently looking up if this is normal or not but i just am so soothed by rubbing the back of my hand especially after washing it and it's cool or just super soft on my lips. or even smelling my hand which is why i was like HMMM maybe thats not norm. im v gen anxiety disorder and am adhd too so figured maybe that has somehting to do w it

I try to do it as little as possible, because I don't want to catch any icky viruses.
