Oh man, I saw a reality show where, as a side story, some friends cured a guy of his cotton ball phobia by taking him to a hypnotherapist. Was fascinating.

I don't like high pitched noises, esp electronic. Plus, I have a weird ear problem from too many years of allergies, so vibrations like vacuum cleaner, fan, hairdryer... they often vibrate one ear drum which is super annoying. I like things peaceful. Except when I crank music.

Metal scratching on metal or plate. (While cooking or eating)
A feeling that makes me shiver is that of loose hair strands on my skin. Like when loose hairs are entangled in a sponge or similar situations and they come in contact with my fingers 🤢 I will throw away the sponge on the spot.

Perhaps the worst sound in the world to me is when someone sneezes, then sniffles and you can tell they need to blow their nose, but they refuse and then they keep sneezing. Even worse if they do that ridiculous achooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sound where they add an additional unnecessary sound to the end of their sneezes. Gross.

I hope anyone who reads this immediately starts to cringe:
Nails on a chalkboard
When a metal fork scrapes against a glass plate
When to plastic things make that terrible noise when rubbed together in a very tight space
When people slurp up their food
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

Nails on a chalkboard, and certain kinds of foam containers.  The styrofoam ones especially when the parents could never figure out how to open them and kept squeaking them for five minutes... ugh.

loveslongnails · Answer

Yes... music that I can "hell metal" ( I can't even name the groups, but it sounds like what I'd expect hell to sound like ), anything by Nickelback, really high, squeaky female voices, and anytime Trump opens his mouth. That last one makes me ill. Fingernails on a chalk board doesn't bother me.

CassMi · Answer

Not really texture wise. A few sounds usually the common nails on a chalkboard sound.

I have a friend who is pregnant at the moment and says since becoming pregnant she can't stop touching textures, she loves the feel of certain things... Odd 😂
