Dry Microfiber. Doubly so when my nails are not smoothly trimmed
I haven't saved a gif in years, but this one just captures the emotion perfectly.
Someone: You have dry skin
Me: I do NOT have dry skin
microfiber enters the room
Hate this shit, the cloth the that touches you back. Get it away from me.
Dry microfiber sticks to my fingers and when I tell people that they look at me like I'm crazy
What?! It's crazy not to be able to notice that kind of assault on skin. Maniacs.
Yes! It's like velcro but for skin. Absolutely disguising.
This and socks, for some reason touching these makes me unable to breathe. It's like my body just refuses to go on of I have to deal with this.
Aaaaaaah! Yes! This one for sure
