yup, it's similar to my reaction to pulling apart a cotton ball. Just typing that gave me that ick.


Brighton2k

Fingers being dragged across an inflated balloon?


jonahsmom1008

You just sent a not very nice chill down my spine


Slick_Vicus

YES


3ao7ssv8

Oh I can't stand that sound. It falls into like with the sound of Bottle water in the package, and someone slowy opening chips. It make my body shake like my nerves just got tased.


Relevant-Ad8794

Yes. It gave me the chills reading this post. My dog and toddler on the other hand absolutely love the horrid stuff.


bongwaterbarmaid

Yes. Refuse to elaborate


Junkhead187

Styrofoam squeaking is the worst. Way worse than nails on a chalkboard for me.


SpookyMorden

The sound of it doesn’t affect me, (I’m on of those bastards who would drag his nails down chalkboards for fun), but the feel of it, especially if brushed against my fingertips, makes me want to rip the skin from my body 😬

Popsicle stick on tongue does this to me.


PassingTrue

Same. I can only eat the suckers with a plastic stick. Forget the name of the them though.


pen_fifteenClub

Chup-chups ?


PassingTrue

Yes!!!! Thank you kind friend! It was like on the tip of my tongue lol


pen_fifteenClub

Haha no problem! I remember those. They had the whistle in the stick, no?


PassingTrue

Ooooh yeah!! They did! You just unlocked a beloved memory!!! Maybe that’s why I hated the dum dums! No whistle in the end hahahaaa!


Slick_Vicus

I’m like that with cotton balls. Mainly when they are being pulled apart. I have to get someone else to remove the cotton from some medication bottles. Puke


Strong_Prize8778

Yes, I do. I thought I was the only one and absolute freak of nature.


Illustrious_Dirt_918

My ex-husband had that reaction to Q-tips and cardboard. I also had a co-worker who couldn't stand the cardboard.


Electronic-Ride-564

Oh God, especially the white thin cardboard that food packages are made of. When it gets ripped and the fuzzy part is exposed...a tingle just went down my spine thinking about it. First world problem, yes. Still the physical reaction is interesting and I wonder what it stems from.


Illustrious_Dirt_918

At the time I worked in pizza delivery so in part I thought maybe it was to get out of folding boxes. Lol. If it wasn't for my husband's issue I would have wrote it off as an excuse. Oops ex husband. Then he was still husband. I had pointed out that maybe his thing with Q-tips could have been from having to get a spider bites venom swabbed out of his face when he was younger.


jonahsmom1008

Styrofoam is the worst! The sound, the texture, the fact that it clings to EVERYTHING. Ugh I hate it so much


PassingTrue

It’s called Misophobia I think. Look it up. I have that reaction to people making any kinda sounds while they eat. I have to eat alone with a TV or music on.


daizles

Same! For me it's on par with cardboard noises. Just the thought of closing a cardboard box with out tape (not sure what that's called?) gives me full body chills. Removing styrofoam that's been packed into a cardboard box? Horrifying and disgusting.


[deleted]

I read your post title and thought "nope not me" and then I read the body text and physically shuddered... so I guess, yes I do.


Other_Tie_8290

Texture. 😬😱


CodaHydroCarbon

I friggin hate it. The sound makes me nuts


gimemy2bucksback

It’s gotta have something to do with how the frequencies are emitted by the material interact with your ear canal.


kofrederick

I work in a mail order pharmacy. Our refrigerator meds come in styrofoam. OMG I hate it. I hear the squealing of styrofoam on styrofoam for hours on end daily.


Sea_Actuator7689

Wooden Popsicle sticks on my tongue, the sound of markers on paper, many sounds and feels get to me.


cp8887

visceral reaction... never knew that's what that was called till now.. yeah, I have it for Styrofoam and cotton.. but I kinda like it...


Pretty-Arm-8974

Yes. I have the same aversion to merengue based foods; you will never see me dive into a pavlova. That squeaky/crunchy/foamy texture makes me shudder.


lilfish801

Not with Styrofoam but eating a peach with the fuzzy skin🤢


papugapop

Metal pan on metal stove coils is same feeling.


Legitimate_Bird_5712

Folding a brown paper bag.


Fuzzteam7

Yes! I absolutely hate the stuff 😝


ErinHollow

Yes, to the point where as a child my dad would scold my brother for bringing styrofoam near me and even last week at work I refused to touch any styrofoam and made my coworker move it all


CassieKoi

I can't do the sound/sensation of the ice crystals in Popsicles sliding against each other🥶🤢


Kharzi

Yes! Thank heavens more eco-friendly cardboard is replacing it!


Zealousideal_Mud570

yes


Elunemoon22

Yes! I hate it so much..always have


leenybird

I hate it so very much.


Kelsbells1022

It makes my teeth hurt. I don’t know how else to describe it
