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.
Bananas. Uggghhh, that slimy texture. Texture is hugely important to me.
My food cannot touch on the plate. And I will eat my foods separately, too. All the veggies until they're gone, then all the meat and so on.
Shirts cannot touch too closely around my underarms and neck, so I'm sadly usually wearing shirts a size or two too big.
No tags, ever.
During cold weather, I wear sweatpants & shirts inside out because the way the seams feel next to my skin skeeves me out.
Socks make me feel claustrophobic.
I cannot sleep unless I'm naked.
Sometimes I have to pull my hair back in a very tight pony tail because it drives me crazy if it touches my face. At night, although I can't wear clothes, I must wear a little sleep cap to be extra sure my hair doesn't touch my face. (I often dream about shaving my head and feel the most exquisite relief. Then I wake up.)
I read 3 to 4 books at a time, switching out every couple of chapters. Don't know why, except that I love to read and there's so many books and so little time. I do finish them all, eventually!
There's more, but I'll spare y'all. I've been diagnosed with ADHD (it took years for my team of doctors to decide between mild autism and ADHD) and this thread is making me wonder if any of y'all divirge a bit from the norm also?
I like bananas but only when they've just turned yellow. Can't stand the mush of a brownish one.
I wasn't even gonna post anything, but this kinda triggered me. Bananas are horrible, and that sucks because they're very cheap here and one of the most convenient fruits alongside tangerines.
No cutting, no washing, no chomping on juicy fruit and getting juice all over you. But they feel like solid paste.
I do the food thing as well. Also same with reading several books simultaneously.
Similar to the other poster under this comment, I cannot eat a banana with any brown on it 🤢
I also have to sleep naked or else I'm super uncomfortable. When I stay at places where it's uncouth to be nude, I have to wear skin tight clothes or else I can't sleep
