velvet doesnt get me bad but paper is the devil's texture. best explination i've found is Tactile Defensiveness. light touch with movement, especially on the type of skin that can grown hair, sets off the nervous systems fight/flight response. like nails on a chalk board meets being zapped by a low volt current. and varies in intensity from "this shirt makes me feel a little anxious" to "if you hand me a pencil instead the correct pen i will do violance upon your entire family tree".
I'm usually fine with paper, but if I scratch it with my nails or use a broken pencil on it, it sounds awful.
my blood pressure went up just reading that
Movement against velvet definitely is part of the problem for me.
