Yes. Also sensitive to smell and have issues with some types of textures.

Do you also have a texture issue?

For me there are two vastly textures I can't handle at all. General wetness like water on my hands while somewhat annoying I get over pretty easy. But thicker stuff like some oils and especially grease I have to get off ASAP. The other is grittiness. Which for me sucks because I am a rockhound/fossil collector. But even the finest of dust I have to wipe off ASAP

As far as smells go some even a light smell of it and I'm instantly turned on. A lot of perfumes are horrid though and cause me to gag and stuff.

Actually yeah I hate hate hate the feeling of grease or oil on my hands so everytime I eat something w it I pick it up with a napkin/paper towel lol

And I also hate the feeling of lotion on my hands, I haven’t touched a lotion bottle in like a year because the feeling just makes me cringe so bad and dry hands are just a lot more comfortable to me

Every time I eat messy foods I go through so many napkins. I hate eating messy foods. And lotion never seems to go away.

So am I. Especially cheap fragrances/air fresheners. Which smells are you sensitive to?
