Dry Microfiber. Doubly so when my nails are not smoothly trimmed

    More of a sound than a texture TBH, but the way certain types of styrofoam squeak against cardboard boxes legitimately sets my teeth on edge.

    Wooden cooking utensils that have been washed a bunch or raw wood popsicle sticks or those little wooden spoons that come with ice cream cups, all genuinely revolting 🤮

    Cheap acrylic sweaters/yarn is also pretty bad

    I just talked about this topic with a few friends and family members and they all cringed in response. Every. Single. One.

    If you're writing with a wooden pencil, the graphite snaps out, and the wood of the pencil drags across the paper.

    Just writing this made my skin crawl.

    I love mechanical pencils. If you still wanna pencil, check out mechanical ones. There are loads of good options out there, including ones that spin the lead with each stroke to keep a consistent sharpness and ones where the lead is suspended via springs so it doesn't break as easily, as well as ones with retractable lead sleeves so the lead and the metal pipe at the end don't break when you move it around.

    T-shirt too tight around my neck drives me crazy.

    Raw wood. Whenever I see someone put a wooden spoon in their mouth I want to scream. I have to keep the wrapper around popsicle sticks.

    The sound of a permanent marker used on cardboard makes my teeth itch. I know it’s not a texture but I can sure feel it.

    Any form of crumb or sand in my bed. I will feel that one particle in my back like a dagger all night

    Pretty much anything that is sticky or gritty. Sugar is the worst because it is both!

    I can not pick just one and just reading this thread is making my brain go eurghghghg sounds.

    The feeling of jeans at all. Toenails snagging on sheets. Hands covered in stuff with no paper towels. Many clothes. Anything in hair not approved by three discussions with brain prior. Sticky things.

    Stuffing for stuffed animals, when I touch it I can barely breathe. I have no idea why.

    There's this material that some notebook covers were made of when I was in school that made an AWFUL noise when you scratched it with your fingernail. Naturally the other students made a point of using it to aggravate me.

    I hate styrofoam and anything related to it.

    The sound of a calloused finger running up and down a guitar’s low E string.

    Really specific one, but the Cadbury Mini Eggs. They have a slightly rough candy coating and the feeling of two of them sliding against each other kills me inside.

    100% polyester is gross.

    I really can’t stand this one kind of paper used sometimes in cheap mass-market paperbacks or colouring books. It’s coarse and spongy and literally crumbles if you try to use an eraser on it.

    Not a texture per se, but having one wet hand and one dry hand 😱

    Chewing gauze or tissue. That sensation plus the squeaking and crushing is one of the few things that would actually make me scream

    Then in general, wet slimy stuff (that isn't lube) or having vaseline on my hands (I think everyone would hate that though)

    I don’t know if this counts, but I cannot even see a pencil eraser without my teeth hurting. Just the site of them tingles my teeth. If I see someone erasing, I have to hold my lips tight together.

    I hate to say it but pants.

    I know they matter. I wear them. But man I can't stand it sometimes

    Gritty feelings, like dried dirt on a garden hose or the feeling of dust on my hands.
