What odd sensory issues do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

velvet
socks
hair (like if my ponytail rubs on my neck or if I have to touch the ends of my hair)
towel material (I think it's called terrycloth?)
any food with a "stringy" texture: mango, sweet potato, overripe peaches. I will peel the strings off of my string beans.

bits in the bed

scratch labels

don't feel bruises and cuts except paper cuts

mother. said no sense no feeling lol

loud noise cacaphony too many peepz talking at once

For me, I cannot stand the sound of chalk on chalkboards just thinking of it makes me stimulated. I also do not like the sound that sandpaper makes. It is grating to me and uncomfortable. So I don't know it is odd. But can't stand it. I also am weird about textures like slime that people play with. I do not like that feeling on my hands.

ok i thought of more
I can't stand residue of any kind dry or wet.
i cannot tolerate somebody walking around with something they mean to throw away (ex food bits from sink filter)
reused hankies (like in back pocket)
fake cartoony voices (except for in cartoons)
people leaving outside doors open
a big one is just the enormity of everything in life that has to be done. cleaning, cooking, meds, shower, use, throw -away, bills...and on top of that all the social expectations. i'm so sure id be happier in a small town. or maybe not; everyone knows your business

this doesn't really bother me it's more of a stim/obsession: strands of hair over someone's face. my first scenario: Atrayu Neverending story...i always wanted straight relaxed hair like that first of all, but it was just fascinating and it would happen while he's scared lol so it just intensified...oh to have a mop like that! and that's a hair style now, don't even know what's it's called. i see someone with it once in a while and i just stare in adoration hehe. my hair is crinkly (i honestly cannot stand my hair and anybody touching it.) and i'm not about to relax it til it falls out.

I have an issue of feeling water droplets run down on my arms, really freaks me out.

Other than that I have sensory issues with clothes, fabric and food textures, sounds, smells and touch but I don't think they are very odd.

Don't like things touching my feet, which creates issues with shoes and socks.

Also prefer cold food to hot.

Synthetic smells like detergent, air "fresheners" and the like.

The smell of anything burning, especially tobacco.

Small, tickly touches by hair, fabric, fingertips, etc.

Velvety fabrics.

Large numbers of people talking at the same time, even quietly, especially in a large, echoey room.

The usual annyances--bright lights, loud noises, strong smells in general.

I can feel food moving through my body easily. I used to be very thin so I thought that was the reason. Now I'm not thin at all and can still feel it. If I have the time to kill I spend a lot of time on the toilet just to get rid of some of the pressure. At least I've read a lot of books during that time.

I have auditory processing issues and I hate the sound of scratching or scraping, like chalk on a chalkboard. You would think that such sound sensitivity would allow me to pick out certain sounds among many others. However, that’s not true for me. If I am in an environment with a lot of noise I can’t easily hear what people are saying to me, even if they’re relatively close.

In addition to whatever hearing my own breathing, my issue is with subtle vibrations and motions (vibrations and motions that are significantly weaker than the rocking sensation of travelling with cars/boat/ship;)...

I don't think it's something to do with the common phenomenon of my balance and vision fighting in my head (they're not and it's not my main issue), but just my balance -- my ears alone, and my overstretched visual processing (trying to perceive too many frames faster than I can process) while strained and tunneled on a very specific spot -- my eyes alone; both and seperately to be specific.

The former is highly possible that it's no thanks to the years of chronic sneezing, it must've screwed my ears as many things in my life already did.
Not just my hearing, but possibly sense and perception of balance and motion too.
No, I am not truly officially diagnosed with vertigo. Not yet if this lack of means of managing this nuisance continues.

The latter is a subconscious habit that my very young self can do without issue, but my aging slower in the inside self can no longer sustain.



No one is talking about interoceptive hypersensitivity issues.

I kept consciously feeling where my body is and how it is positioned for every hour of my waking life.
Sometimes even during sleep.

Maybe I have issues with constantly sensing pressure and gravity, too and I don't mean strength and muscle control issue.

And there's no earplug equivalent for this.
Also it's unavoidable.

Closest thing I'd get is getting numbed out for few hours at most through overstimulation via intense full body workouts that can potentially make me sick.

I've seen no any other accounts describing anything similar so far.

I can't handle bright lights and loud sounds. There are times that I feel a crawling sensation on my skin. I also have to cut the tags out of my shirts. The urges that I feel when I feel the need to have a bowel movement, the urge is so strong that I don't make it to the toilet half of the time. I don't like the taste or texture of cottage cheese, cream cheese or white sauces. I have extreme sensitivity to the heat. I also don't like it when people yell at me. Loud voices are like the feeling of a piercing through my eardrums. I don't like having people in my personal space. If people get too close, I have this closed in feeling with no escape.
