What makes you feel uncomfortable?

[AmberTurnerCo]

I would say
Having to do talks in front of big crowds of people.

Spa days

My mother

Ian McShane

@mollypuss1 why? 🤣

Mine is anything medical or horror on telly if I'm eating

Meeting people unexpectedly.
I like to rehearse conversations and situations before hand. Whilst I am actually a very confident, talkative person, I'm also incredibly socially awkward. I struggle with "small talk". I don't find silences awkward, but others do, so I often find I'm just stood there gormlessly, hoping for a black hole to appear and put an end to everyone's misery.

I would point out that this isn't just random or vague acquaintances. It could be, for example, my Aunt who I love dearly. At family gatherings I will chat away all night with great joy. But if I bump into her unexpectedly in Tesco I will flap, because I haven't mentally prepared myself for this moment.

Odd. Annoying. Uncomfortable.

Interacting with children I don’t know.
I don’t like children very much, except my own, and I find it an uncomfortable chore trying to pretend I do and talking to them. I tend to put on a very twee, faux excited voice.
I also don’t like when strangers or acquaintances want to touch me in any way. I‘be known a few people who I didn’t know well enough to hug, but are that kind of person where they must hug or kiss my cheek when greeting me. Nope, not for me.

Anything where someone has to be in my personal space - massage, dentist, dr,
Beauty therapy/spa stuff.

Confrontation

Being outdoors. I think Im becoming agoraphobic.

People having their bare feet and toes out. I hate feet.

Room full of people
Dancing
Sex on TV.. Cringe
Wankers I have to work with.. People who are up your arse to make themselves look better.

Sex scenes on TV. Get a really good story line and then they spoil it with a bit of sex thrown in. Or a lot in some cases. It's not exciting, sex is only exciting if it's your own, other people's is tedious....

@AriesTheRam he just gives me the heebie jeebies, always has since I first saw Lovejoy in the late 80s.

Too much to list.

Let's just say people.

Ableism on mumsnet

Standing in a pub with friends, one starts dancing. Always tries to get me to join in. So uncomfortable.

Most things!

Dirty houses.
People touching animals and then eating.

People who hug. Lockdown has been bloody marvellous for me...

Men with long hair, ponytails or, even worse, buns. Also long fingernails on men

Constipation

Elton John, I cannot bear to look at him if he’s on the television. He creeps me out.

Getting stuck in an eye contact cycle and even though you don't want to keep looking you glance up and then panic that you look like you're staring or even worse coming into someone

*onto. That came out a little differently than I meant

left handed people
