People Reveal Which Sensation They Can't Stand Even Though It's Not Painful

Humans are snowflakes. Not in our sensitivity to the imaginary concepts of society at large, instead in their varying resistance to outside physical stimulants. Sensations of comfort for some can feel like nails on a chalkboard for others.


Reddit user, u/Charlleshenry, wanted to hear the worst sensations you can imagine that really shouldn't be when they asked:

What is a sensation that you can't stand, even though it's not painful ?

I DON'T Want To Laugh, But...

Being tickled. I'm thinking itching is second.

The worst part is you can't tell people IRL that you hate being tickled because literally everyone takes that as an invitation to tickle you. People are d-cks sometimes.

Cotton Is The Worst

Dry hands or feet touching anything that's cottony

ProudYeti

Just the thought of pinching a cotton ball induces a physical cringing response in my body.

Sticky hands. Especially between fingers.

You Try So Hard To Stop It From Happening

Wet cloth at the wrists, like when you wash your face in the morning but water drips down your arm and wets your sleeve a bit.

This is the truth. And the anxiety of washing dishes and watching your sleeve slowly slide down. Then you have to either stick your arm in the air and shimmy the sleeve back down, or stop everything to dry your hands to push the sleeve back up.

Lodged In Like A Nail

When you get a popcorn kernel stuck in between your teeth and you can't for the life of you get it out.

Or spot-welded to the back of your tongue.

Sticking your arm down a sink of dirty dishwater to pull out the plug.

Heat On Heat

When it's a hot day - my exposed arm (humerus ish area) touching someone else's

It happens a lot on hot London transport in summer and I HATE the sensation of the clammy skin sticking together - but just that area, anywhere else I can pretty much let it slide

Uncomfortable All The Time

Giphy

Laying down on one side for too long.

I'm constantly rolling over from one side to the other because of how uncomfortable I feel. Not painful at all, because I'm in a resting, sedentary position.

Al...Most...There...

When you need to stretch but you can't stretch far enough.

Additionally, when you yawn and it doesn't feel like you yawned hard enough

Like Brushing A Cactus

My dry a-- hands on microfiber towels.

pumpkinspicebooty

I have a blanket that I use on the couch when I'm watching TV. One side is velour and the other side is fleece. My feet are rough even though I try to keep them smooth. Sometimes my rough feet get caught on the fleece and it feels so damned strange. I do it on purpose sometimes just to do it.

Anti-Trump Stickers Keep Getting Spotted On Gas Pumps—And They're Absolutely Brutal

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's decision to join Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attacking the country of Iran directly caused gas prices in the United States to soar and even Trump's MAGA minions aren't happy about it.

Many who are turning their back on Trump have cited the POTUS's negative impact on their cost of living and the influence Netanyahu, himself under investigation by his own country for corruption, has over the Trump administration.

Former MAGA Fan Goes Viral With Video Explaining What Finally Made Him Dismantle His Conservative Beliefs

Influencer Jude Cloud revealed in a video message how he ended up discarding the MAGA conservative beliefs he grew up around, describing his evolution from holding “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” ideals to being a "terribly woke" queer leftist.

Cloud, who boasts nearly 58,000 followers on Instagram, said he actually used to go "door-to-door" stumping for "one of [President Donald] Trump's closest friends in Congress, adding that he "used to say, 'I think, therefore I am conservative.'"

Trump's AG Sets Off A Firestorm With Claim That Americans 'Want Their Tax Dollars Spent On' Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing heavy criticism after claiming that Americans "want their tax dollars spent on things like" President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund that may go to his allies and those who participated in the January 6 insurrection.

The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.

Khloé Kardashian Under Fire After Admitting She Had Her Two Cats Declawed After Being 'Misadvised'

Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.

But if you're going to get an animal that you have no prior experience with, you also have to commit to doing your research so you can care for them properly. While getting advice from a fellow pet owner is helpful, it's always good to double-check their facts.
