Each line needs to end in a double space for the newline to work.
Example.
Oh jeez, that's incredibly annoying.
Your edit looks like double-enter style. That works without the double-space, but makes two newlines. Bug or feature...
Mouth noises and ASMR stuff. Makes me want to break things. Condition’s called misophonia.
Bass(Musical bass), the sound of metal cutlery scrapping against themselves, and the "sss" sound that seems exaggerated for sleep related podcasts.
Where do I even start? The one that affects me most is that I absolutely can't stand wearing any pants at all.
I hate the texture of all sorts of porridge and oatmeal with a flaming passion. Wearing a coat indoors for more than five seconds makes me want to punch something. When you're at a beach, come out of the water, and your feet are covered in sand. (bonus points if you're trying to put shoes on)
Sandpaper. Dry skin. Dry clay on my skin. A lot of plastic things. Body hair touching me. Dry lips. Sleeves that are too tight around the armpits. Neon colors. Those fucking bright lights that look like they're made for the purpose of blinding people. Flashing lights. The sound of people chewing or even swallowing loudly. Nearly all beeping sounds.
I have questions.
-
Pants - Do you also not like wearing any shorts? If you don't have any problems wearing shorts, then how long does a short have to be to stop being a short and start annoying you?
-
Porridge - What about macaroni or chilli ? Do you know that jelly thing with bits of fruit chunks in it? What about that? What happens if your cereal gets too soggy?
-
Coats - Do you live in a warm/humid region? How do you cope with winters when it gets cold? Does a sweater feel different than a coat?
-
I'm with you on the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing.
-
Sandpaper is supposed to be irritating. But is there any correlation between your thing against Sandpaper & the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing?
-
Dry skin? Is it because it reminds you of Sandpaper or sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach ?
-
Dry clay - again, is it correlated to the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing ?
-
Plastic things? Like plastic things just existing & minding their own business or plastic things that touch your skin or the ones that you're in contact with? What about the kind used in hospitals for IV fluids? Or the so-called BPA free that is used in takeaway containers or food storage?
-
Body hair touching you - WHOSE body hair? Your own body hair or somebody else's body hair? Does it remind you of wearing a coat? What do you do when you are trying to get physically intimate with someone? Do you avoid the hairy body parts? Aren't they the most fun?
-
Tight sleeves around the armpits - yeah, I can imagine that. Now I don't want to imagine it anymore.
-
Neon colours? - okay. To each their own.
-
Yes, people using those bright lights should have Gorilla Glue put in their eyes.
-
Flashing lights - Do you also not like the small twinkling fairy lights? What about blinking festival lights? Do you also not like any flashing traffic lights? Do you ignore flashing traffic lights?
-
Eating or chewing loudly is a sign that you were not loved as a child. I'm with you on this.
-
Beeping sounds - what do you plan to do when you have to be in a hospital? Say you have to visit the dentist & there are beeping sounds from their machines, you'll have to bear the beeping sounds along with your toothache.
Felt fabric
Corduroy...
Acrylic blankets and microfiber. I just can't. Even thinking about it make me cringe.
YES. This stuff just feels sticky. As if it's latching onto my skin and creating the same feeling I get when someone is rubbing two pieces of Styrofoam against each other, only this time literally palpable.
Is it like hungryphrog's thing about Sandpaper or the sand-on-your-wet-skin-at-the-beach thing? Or is it like hungryphrog's Coat thing?
I'm not sure what those are, but it's not sandpaper. It's like a billion tiny clinging fibers
Touching cardboard, I have realized how rough and dirty it is.
Stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.
Crumbfoot!!!
I hate it to the point that I vacuum and wipe the floors in the common areas by hand everyday.
Finally!! Somebody else who hates touching cardboard! :D
I have many sensory problems, but cardboard-touching is definitely the worst.
Dry hands. I absolutely have to moisturize at all times.
Any sort of collar on a shirt except surprisingly dress shirts. Also tags on shirts, but those are slowly disappearing so I'm getting the option to not buy tagged shirts.
I blame it on an itchy wool sweater I wore when I was a kid that is my earliest sense of the feeling.
Just talking/thinking about itchy collars can give me goosebumps!
Nail filing, chalk on chalk boards, using the eraser on chalk boards
When snow is so cold it is bone dry like a chalk board and squeaks any time it is touched.
Oh snap I love that
It's okay when it first starts crunching and squeaking, but as it gets colder and drier it gets bad.
When you're at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.
Dry, dirty hands after working in the garden. I mean dry.
Sharp Scrape of utensil on plate.
A thick seam on socks at the toes.
Too-tight clothing.
Repetitive noise.
Sometimes people chewing. Or talking around chewing.
Fibers snagging on a chewed or broken nail
Microfiber towels sticking to dry skin on your hands like velcro. Soggy sandwich bread. The way cotton balls feel and sound when you pull them apart. Non-skid on bare feet. Wooden utensils or popsicle stick wood on my tongue. Being touched by dogs with wet beards. Trying to sleep in bed with dirty feet. Synthetic fragrances.
I'm sure there's more.

Dragging a guitar pick up guitar strings, and touching those hologram images.
I was gonna say high freq vibration noise, but those two also give me the creeps. I think I have whatever it is you also have.
Barking. It drives me absolutely mad.
Unfortunately in the US people are OBSESSED with dogs. Everyone has one and so many people just leave them outside to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and.... :/
Yeah I used to go for a walk at my old neighborhood and one dog would start barking then the next and the next and soon I would have the whole neighborhood barking just by walking around the block.
Also my old neighborhood my neighbor will leave for work at 6:00 in the morning and his dog would woefully and loudly bark for a solid hour after he left.
I have a cat. She is currently emitting no noise and is a moderate grey color.
This is how you can easily differentiate people and assholes. Assholes leave their dogs outside.

Store Music
I hate it.
Holiday music. Too repetitive.
A crowd talking.
Basically, it can be summed up as, TOO MUCH FUCKING NOISE
(I just want some silence 🥲)

Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it's louder than what i would consider normal.

Anything kinda powdery like flour, chalk in general, or things like dried mud or clay. Can't stand them, especially on my hands and feet.
Yep! I do pottery and absolutely despise how my hands feel covered in dry clay.
I was considering you an outlier. Turns out you aren't.
Agreed on chalk and similar feels.
In Germany we have sweets called "Traubenzucker" (according to my quick web search they are dextrose sweets) which also have this feel and it's even worse in the mouth.
Biting into meringue is also quite uncomfortable to me.
I can't stand chewing noises over headphones. its fucked up to eat when your mic is on dont do it

This miiiiight not be a sensory thing, but here goes.
To me, everything has, like, a correct feeling it has to give before leaving it to rest. If not, it's a little too rough, or smooth, it just feels off. And I can keep feeling it after stopping touching it. And anytime I look at the object. I can feel it when I watch a movie or show and someone puts something down in some indescribably wrong way.
To be clear, this isn't a placement thing. Organization and whatnot don't matter, it's just like "Oh my foot just dragged forward on the carpet, that was weird and rough forward, now I have to do it backward to make it feel right," or "I just out that down and from the sound, I can tell it went down wrong. I gotta go adjust it." That loops until I get it just right, usually a process of 2-45 minutes.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I try not correcting/redoing the thing that was bothering me, and it makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable/unsettled. It's like I fixate on it.
I’m not a professional but that sounds a lot like OCD
