I hate wearing gloves, because I find it very uncomfortable when I walk around or move my arms with them on. It's like the air is being abrasive on my skin, under the gloves. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have always associated that feeling with more of a sense of being confined, and I am definitely claustrophobic. But yes, I also dislike the feeling of anything unusual touching my skin.

I don't wear gloves unless I have to, but I wash my hands all the time because I can't stand the feel of anything on them, including the smallest particle of dust.

I hate them too, but I hate frozen fingers even more, so I put up with them.

It's mostly the fact that I have to keep taking them off and putting them back on to deal with ATM's, POS's, and signing stuff. Tucking them under my arms and such. It's just another annoyance I can't stand. About the only thing I can do with them on is drive.

Gloves are OK for me, but sometimes I get panicky if my feet are in too tight a shoe. It's like claustrophobia of the feet.

Properly fitting leather gloves better than mittens, rubber gloves horrible.

Don't LIKE any of them.

I feel restricted, limited, annoyed, but not horribly bothered. I do feel like I can't do much but drive with them.

I don't like those sensations but I'm extremely tolerant. I like bracelets. However, while I'm wearing this now, I don't like wearing necklaces. The way they go against the back of my neck... augh! Dx

I like wearing gloves, I have 2 pair of red wollen gloves and one of them is always in my purse, even in summer.
When I'm wearing gloves I don't want to/can't touch anything though, I hate the sensation of touching something not directly with my skin and I can't stand it.
I can't wear blacelets, necklacesand, earrings and watches, they really bother me

I get this feeling of restriction, every time that I wear gloves. I also don't like cold fingers, so I put up with them.

Boxers before briefs, cant stand tight cloths, tight collars or elastic wrist and ankle cuffs.

Gloves are okay unless tight

Ironically, I hate gloves for some purposes (like working or keeping hands warm). They just bother me. They tend to make my hands dry out and chafe...maybe need a pair with the right kind of liners?

Now, if I'm working on the truck or motorcycle, I might wear surgical gloves because the chemicals on my hands irritate more than having to work with gloves on. For me, the gloves are less of an irritant than cracking and peeling skin from the petroleum distillates I've been handling. Sometimes I try to heal badly chaffed hands by putting on ointment and leaving it on overnight. For that I must wear surgical gloves of I'd get the ointment on everything I touch.

Then again, I have no issue wearing gloves when riding the motorcycle. It's not that they're magically more comfortable than any other glove, but maybe because it's a safety gear thing (ever fall off a bike and land hands-first) I don't feel comfortable without gloves on when riding. Of course, good motorcycle gloves my have no liner, but they are cut to fit naturally, so they are considerably more comfortable on the hands than typical gloves. They are cut to conform to what is called the "natural position of function" (hand naturally is half-closed when relaxed). Typical gloves are cut to lay flat. I also have a pair of electric gloves (not curved like other motorcycle gloves) but they compensate by keeping my fingers warm when they'd otherwise be numb from cold.

I can wear leather gloves or rubber gloves but not cloth gloves. They freak me out and I can't touch anything with them on.
