Re: tactile sensitivity - METAL aversion.

[Guest guest]

I have the same aversion. And the same loss of faith in humanity.

I have come to realize, through 4s and other personal circumstances with friends, work, and life, that Humans can be absolute beasts.

(with the exception of all the wonderful, cheerful people on this list that are just like me. luvs to ya)

I think metal on teeth is one of my worst triggers ever. It makes my

skin crawl just thinking about it.

Usually I'm fine with metal -I even work with the stuff to make jewelry-,

but there are some textures that I've accidentally touched with my nails,

and then immediately had to run my nails over something else to get rid of

the tactile " memory " .

= M-F
