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

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.

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.

What can you not stand that really shouldn't be that bad? Let us know!

It's a wonderful feeling when you think you've met "the one."

Someone who is so perfect in absolutely every way that you can't help but think that they must be too good to be true.

Only to make the unpleasant discovery that they are, indeed, too good to be true.

As they neglected to tell you one important piece of information: they're seeing something else.

A discovery that is naturally met with rage, sadness, and confusion.

As well as the occasional unexpected, unusual development down the line.

Sometimes we're so blind to the faults of others.

Learning the hard truth about a best friend is never easy.

Especially if that particular truth is the fact that they were never a good friend or good person, to begin with.

But we see people how we see them.

And one day, we see beyond what we want.

You sort of feel bamboozled.

But when someone tells you who they are, whether with their words or their actions, believe them.

Why is sex such a dramatic aspect of life?

It carries such weight in our lives.

For some, there's a big debate about waiting for marriage.

Other want to know if they're compatible (both emotionally and sexually) before tying the knot.

Whether it's for religious or other reasons, this topic can put a strain on many adult relationships.

First and foremost, we do know we have to do what's best for us.

We've all known someone who tends to say mean things or generally be kind of a jerk.

And whether we want to admit to it or not, it can be fun to see that jerk taken down a few notches with a solid insult.
