My question:
Is it normal using cutlery always hurts? Every single time I use knife, fork of spoon for anything else but scooping something soft, it hurts. It's been like this my entire life. Are people really in pain every time they eat without anyone speaking of it????
This, but more for pencils. Crayons at least have a bit of a sliding texture (though the waxy feel is meh). Pencils are mentally painful to use due to the friction.
This can be a thing with some pencils. The trick is decent quality and softer rather than harder lead. But I can't use cheap pencils, even then if they're scratchy. The feeling goes through me.
may I recomend pens. I too have issues with how pencils feel, (though my hatred for them is much less than my hatred for crayons or blue pen ink) I still remember the day when a single class said I could use pens instead of pencils, and from that day on I carried a pen with me and would do everything in pen
Personally I already use pens whenever possible :D
I've long suspected if anything that my massive dislike of pencils stemmed, perhaps, from being "spoiled" by ballpoint pens...
well now I have to ask, do you have a type of pen you prefer above all others, or is it any ballpoint pen
Admittedly it's just any ballpoint pen. I have some nicer (Zebra and Muji) ones as well that are still cheap and much better, but I'm fine with and grew up using bics and the sort.
What about you?
I will use almost any (except blue ink), but I have slowly been trying to find my "go to" pen right now is a Pilot Precise V5... but I do not know how long that will last
