djchapsticks Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Working in warehouses and production lines in a life gone by and I was fine doing anything until someone would ask me to build carboard boxes. The sound of the two edges of dry cardboard scraping against each other is fucking horrific. Similarly, I don't fear polystyrene on it's own but taking a polystyrene insert out of a cardboard box gives me the boak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 +1 for trypophobia. Honeycomb in particular but I stupidly typed the word into Google years ago and a whole lot of images came up that made my teeth grind. There's some kind of plant that is truly awful. Teeth are clenched just thinking about it. As for sounds. I hate opening freezer drawers. That noise goes right through me and makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Just bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People putting in contact lenses gives me the absolute fear My dad gets injections in his eyes every 3 months. A couple of weeks ago he went, and as much as the nurse pushed and pushed, it would not go in. She turned to another nurse and said the needle was blunt, and asked for another. It worked fine with that one. When my mum was telling us this, my son's eyes were watering like mad. Tears rolling down his cheeks at the thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What for, out of curiosity? I think I could cope with that, but being repeatedly poked in the eye with a blunt needle doesn't sound fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a fuch's dystrophy and is waiting to see if he can get a cornea transplant. Whilst he is waiting though, he gets the injections. He isn't keen on them but without them, instead of being mostly blind he would be almost totally blind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I wonder what makes some folk hate stuff that others find totally innocuous? Cannot fathom why people are turned off by wooden spoons or carboard or polystyrene but totally get the fear of cotton wool. Another one for me is the feeling when my nails are cut right down and then they run across some rough fabric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensory overload; what actually controls what your senses get overloaded by is down to the old genetics/environment combo, as far as I’m aware. Big distinction is that “chills down the spine” doesn’t = phobias. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense as the thought of the things that push my buttons doesn't really make me squirm, it's just when they happen in reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been getting this done for about 10 months now after losing most of the sight in my left eye after a small stroke. It's a strange sensation getting it done and can be painful for 2 days after the injection. They haven't worked and I'm waiting on an appointment to have an implant fitted to see if that makes a difference, but tbh, I'm not sure that will work either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Mine is touching the excess flour on a roll. I'll always avoid a floury roll and get flourless ones. Can't explain it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
