Mine:

  • I can't swallow an orange because of the texture.
  • I cannot wear laced shoes because of the sensation they give me.
  • I don't like wearing boxers, so I wear "women's" underwear, but I don't like that flap it has in the crotch so I always cut it out.
  • I feel deeply uncomfortable with the "female" button ups having the buttons on the wrong side, so even if I like the design I cannot fathom actually wearing them. (Sad, they frequently have much cooler designs.)
  • I am also extremely particular about the way I organize things, so I may move my furniture around a lot to maximize efficiency.
  • I feel uncomfortable wearing clothes with text printed on them, including brands, which makes me spend extraordinary amount of time trying to find affordable clothing without branding randomly slapped on.
  • I also feel uncomfortable wearing shirts with prints on them, excluding some geometrical patterns.
  • I feel deeply uncomfortable wearing clothes which aren't strictly very dark.
  • I get extremely anxious when I own something I have no use for, which makes me very anxious for receiving gifts.
  • I find "masculine" cosmetic scents and "feminine" cosmetic scents very overwhelming and have to dedicate time to seeking out stuff which's smell won't upset me. I don't mind them on other people, but for me they make me uncomfortable, even though I like them. They're very, very overwhelming...

Probably more.

I hope to hear back from you to feel normaler.

    I basically can't do see soap suds or smell for doing dishes etc. It hard triggers every fiber of my being to be near it. So I can't wash dishes. Love to cook though.

      I find the smell left on dishes from washing them near puke inducing, but thankfully I can do dishes fine. I bought a soap dispenser I fill with the dishwashing detergent to minimize waste, but it also reduces the smell due to reducing the amount used. I doubt it would help you though. :(

      Okay this one there HAS to be a solution to. The whole "super foamy dish soap" thing is engineered to make people think products are working well; it's a separate additive from the detergents themselves most of the time. There has to be some super crunchy-granola chemicals-are-bad detergent brand out there that has no scent or foaminess. Could maybe try a castille soap, too, though they're not as effective as synthetic detergents at grease cutting. I've done doctor bronners soaks on a three basin sink with moderate success; some bad dishes needed a spray and wipe of degreaser before the castille soap step if they were real fucked.
