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 don't like warm, furry textures. This makes petting dogs, cats, and humans in fursuits a non-starter. Don't get me wrong, I love your cat and it is very cute, just not in my arms.
I need to be very cold, preferably below 60°F.
I don't like wearing clothes with text or any designs. It needs to be dark-colored and baggy.
I generally don't like fresh fruits and vegetables. They have to be "in something". Texture issue.
I am basically nocturnal. I just woke up.
I prefer dark mode and night colors to the point that it is literally the first thing I check when I get a new piece of software, and there is a good chance that I will uninstall it if there's no dark mode.
I don't like bright lights and colors in general.
A necessary condition for me to remember something is that it makes sense to me at some level. I can't remember a list of random crap with no connection to anything else for more than a few minutes.
I have a "depth-first" style of learning, which means that I gravitate towards learning topics as "deeply" as I can before moving onto the next topic. [1] But, this makes it very difficult to work with other students because they typically want to learn the bare minimum needed to pass the upcoming exam and nothing more. This is especially challenging as an engineering major with the breadth of topics I have to cover.
I have a pathological need to justify my thoughts in detail, both to others and my future self. On the bright side, it makes my notes easy to read and my homework easy to grade.
[1] As an example of "depth-first learning", to learn probability theory, I learned measure theory first, even though it is typically taught "less rigorously" with its conclusions treated as unimportant details. Measure theory doesn't really have a practical use for engineers, because we typically work with the Dirac delta """function""" as if it is a legitimate point function instead of the Dirac delta measure or the distribution the measure induces, but for me it makes probability stuff easier to recall or derive when I forget.
I am like this too, and I also struggled during uni. I had to spend a ton of time to learn everything "my way" while others just learned how to solve the exercises mechanically without understanding any of the theory. I bet it's going to cause problems at work as well, given the speed > quality mindset caused by the profit motive
This one too, building a mental model from which I can reconstruct the concepts I remember partially helps me a ton
I just woke up too 😎
What about steamed? That greatly improves vegetable texture for me.
