Serif fonts. Can’t stand those extra appendages on letters.

Dry Microfiber. Doubly so when my nails are not smoothly trimmed
I just talked about this topic with a few friends and family members and they all cringed in response. Every. Single. One.
If you're writing with a wooden pencil, the graphite snaps out, and the wood of the pencil drags across the paper.
Just writing this made my skin crawl.
More of a sound than a texture TBH, but the way certain types of styrofoam squeak against cardboard boxes legitimately sets my teeth on edge.
Unglazed pottery
Stuffing for stuffed animals, when I touch it I can barely breathe. I have no idea why.
Rather positive, then, that stuffing is usually meant to be on the INSIDE of the stuffed animal such that you don’t touch it directly.
Wooden cooking utensils that have been washed a bunch or raw wood popsicle sticks or those little wooden spoons that come with ice cream cups, all genuinely revolting 🤮
Cheap acrylic sweaters/yarn is also pretty bad
The sound of a permanent marker used on cardboard makes my teeth itch. I know it’s not a texture but I can sure feel it.
Yea, same. It's the granularity of the micro-roughness in both materials that does it for me. Same as brushed metal
Same! It’s lessened over the years, but there’s still something about that sound that makes my teeth itch. The absolute worst were those huge permanent markers with metal bodies that smelled like chemical warfare.
Raw wood. Whenever I see someone put a wooden spoon in their mouth I want to scream. I have to keep the wrapper around popsicle sticks.
Yessss. Also wood floors. I'm pretty sure preferring laminate over wood puts me in a minority of people.
cheap silklike texture
Most polyester
Chalk. Makes my skin crawl.
I hate to say it but pants.
I know they matter. I wear them. But man I can't stand it sometimes
T-shirt too tight around my neck drives me crazy.
I can not pick just one and just reading this thread is making my brain go eurghghghg sounds.
The feeling of jeans at all. Toenails snagging on sheets. Hands covered in stuff with no paper towels. Many clothes. Anything in hair not approved by three discussions with brain prior. Sticky things.
I absolutely HATE the this decade's fashion trend is to make everything out of woven fabrics. I cannot stand the feeling of weaves on my skin, and it has severely limited the clothing options available to me for the last six years.
I hate hate hate hate the little hooks from insect's feet/legs, they hook into your skin but just the very outer layer and it's like it's getting to rip my skin off by making it peels off of the skin itself!!! Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate
Also, paper being eaten in any shape or form. I had to roll my lips over my teeth while I wrote that down it just makes them hurt even from just imagining it, seeing my baby nephew eating it made me have to look away and try to ignore the entire ordeal as much as possible, even people talking about it
Cooked raisins.
Anything that squeaks. Squeaking hair when its clean, green beans that aren't cooked enough.
Finely brushed metal. I am fine with silverware on ceramic but please, for the love of Cthulhu, no brushed metal
Velvet, corduroy, some microfleece, crushed velvet, suede
I can feel the fiber in my fingerprints and it wigs me out.
Neurodiversity is so weird. I have very string texture requirements, but they're apparently the opposite of yours. The feeling of corduroy grooves in harmony with my fingerprint grooves is recently satisfying to me. And velvet -- omg heaven is literally made of velvet.
My issues are with inconstancy -- a space of smooth fabric is ruined if there's a tiny bit of grit somewhere. Crumbs in the bed? I'll sleep on the couch. (Interestingly, both velvet and corduroy can obscure such inconsistencies, maybe that's why I like them?)
Paper tissies, ah I got a chill and I am so miserable right now!
Wet bread as a texture can make me puke, even the thought of it makes me queasy. Also I hate socks, hate how they grip, hate how they get wet, hate them all around. I know there are few other textures I recoil from, but I encounter them so rarely that I can't remember what they are associated with off the top of my head.
Velvet, especially crushed velvet.
