    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.

      I love mechanical pencils. If you still wanna pencil, check out mechanical ones. There are loads of good options out there, including ones that spin the lead with each stroke to keep a consistent sharpness and ones where the lead is suspended via springs so it doesn’t break as easily, as well as ones with retractable lead sleeves so the lead and the metal pipe at the end don’t break when you move it around.

    Gritty foods, for sure.

    Stringy as well… like long strands of muscle from meat.

    I seem to be okay with most fabrics and textiles. So long as theyre not strangling my ribcage.

    Anything with that “changing holographic” effect. Run your nails over that and in guaranteed to run out of the room trying not to twist out of my own skin.

    There’s this material that some notebook covers were made of when I was in school that made an AWFUL noise when you scratched it with your fingernail. Naturally the other students made a point of using it to aggravate me.

    100% polyester is gross.

    I really can’t stand this one kind of paper used sometimes in cheap mass-market paperbacks or colouring books. It’s coarse and spongy and literally crumbles if you try to use an eraser on it.

    Not a texture per se, but having one wet hand and one dry hand 😱
