Things that make you shudder

[ThanksForThatt]

I cannot stand people breathing on me. Not just breathing whilst having a conversation, I mean like DP breathing on my neck/arm/shoulder whatever in bed.

I love him but I have to make him turn over or put a pillow in between us if I can feel it. It makes me squirm.

My belly button is another. I can't touch or look at it without recoiling. There's nothing wrong with it, I just can't stand the thought of it!

Does anyone else have something that makes them feel like this?

Another one who cringes at bellybuttons. I love seeing pregnant women, but as soon as I see an outline of an outie, I feel ill. 🤢
I think it goes back to the belly's gonna get you advert from the early 00's for Reebok.

Just remembered another one - crunching on a bit of grit when eating salad. Grit's bad in all foods, but particularly worse in lettuce. Oh and bending a fingernail back, apart from the exquisite pain, my minds eye can't help but keep projecting a detailed image of it and I spend ages obsessing over it and re-living it.

Getting my sleeve wet when washing my hands

Gahhhh yes.

I also get a strange twitching in my leg if I've been for a long walk or something. It looks like there's something alive under my skin. Makes me queasy.

When someone cuts themself on tv or films and they add that horrible squelchy sound it sets my teeth on edge

When children nibble on their woolly gloves Anything knitted. Have to be careful who's sitting opposite me when I'm eating. Gag if someone says the word "knitted" or "cardigan". Will now need to go away and clear my brain of this post!

When people wobble loose teeth and when people crunch on something very loudly... I always get nervous their teeth will break!

Fur or fake fur. Can't bear it (geddit).

I used to chew my school cardigan sleeve, i hated it and the squeek against my teeth made my whole back tingle, but i continued to do it

Now i can't touch cotton wool or fleece without gagging.

Breathing in car fumes or cigarette smoke or the smoke from those vaping things.

The tendons and veins on my wrists. It totally grosses me out especially when I'm writing.

Fake hair, eyelashes and nails... I think they are just gross and tacky

Boris Johnson. Literally makes my skin crawl.

People letting dogs lick them or worse, licking children.
Both heebies and jeebies for licking faces.
*shudders doesn't go close

jenthelibrarian, I hate that too, (being licked) and my dog wants to lick everything, including me, all of the time. When I come out of the shower he tries to lick my legs dry! Neither of us are getting what we want out of the situation.

The feel of rough hand skin on nylon tights or micro fibre clothes.

The thought of a fish touching me - no paddling in the sea for me.

The sensation of biting into squeaky meat like gammon or frankfurters.

On surgical programmes - the initial incision being made. I have to close my eyes for that part but can watch them elbow deep in gizzards and stuff once they’re inside.

Men’s feet. Even fairly ok looking ones (feet not men looking ok I mean).

Anything going near my eyeballs - could never put drops in or wear contacts. Recently referred to the hospital by my opticians. This was a few months ago and I'm still massively proud of myself that I didn't let out a blood curdling scream when they sprayed something on my eyeball and actually touched it. Never doing that again.

Jeremy Corbyn

People in my personal space

The Kardashians

Soaps and reality shows like Big Brother

The thought of biting a woolly jumper

Can’t touch sandpaper, really struggle filing my nails
@Thurmanmurman have you tried a glass nail file? They feel quite smooth.

The feeling of cheap fleecy type dressing gowns.

Eating sounds and talking with your mouth full.

Can’t look in corners, gives me a funny feeling between my eyes and on my nose

Touching dry cotton wool. Wet is ok
Anyone touching my throat or anywhere on the front of my neck. The back and side is fine

Two things immediately sprang to mind.
A used first-aid plaster on the floor....just horrific.
In films or tv when someone gets a knife slice to the palm or stab through the hand. Ackackackackgag.

The inside of my wrists. I'm squirming at the very thought.

Maggots.....someone left my kitchen food waste bin open yesterday, I came down this morning to maggots everywhere

Long nail on men

OMG how absolutely gross. I assume you put the house up for sale immediately?
