Pete – Oh ive been meaning to buy that book! Thanks! I dont know if im touch sensitive. Clothes dont bother me at all. I just dont like repetitive motions in the same spot ie. My grandma used to pet my hair, but if she only did it in the same spot it would drive me nuts! I dont like to be touched in a gentle manner… My son will come up and grab my arm and run his hands up and down it while talking to me at times, but his hands are so soft and its so gentle, it hurts! Its an intense tickle! I cant take it! My hands… When I worked as a cook, I would wear gloves when dealing with cheese, broccoli, meat… I dont like the feel of it on my hands. I dont like the feel of alot of things on my hands. I dont like the feel of my bare feet on a smooth pavement floor with dust, or dirt.
As for personal space. I dont like warm air. Example… Once again my son (poor guy) when he jumps up to give me a hug he puts his face right in mine. It robs me of my own air! Just that warm, moist… bleh! I feel bad for my son because he is so touchy and cuddly. Im not like that. I cant do it. I feel bad for my husband too because he loves to kiss, but I just cant take it. Perhaps I can force myself to just suck it up and do it! Their feelings being hurt due to my own weird problems is not worth it!
I am proud of myself however for adjusting the volume on my stereo to 26! With numbers, I always have to have them ending in 2, 5, 8, or 0. Like volumes. It was at 25, but I put it at 26 and left it! I know that sounds weird… But I am a little obsessive about that. Always making sure they end in 2, 5, 8 and 0. I thought that was silly, so now am forcing myself to change it.
