I hate velvet. Everyone says to save space in your closet you should get those slim velvet hangers. Not a chance. Over my dead body will those velvet hangers ever see the light of day in my closet. I don't want to even think about any of my clothes touching those hangers, let alone myself. You wouldn't believe the effort I put into finding non-velvet hangers just as slim as the velvet ones to prove to family and friends I wasn't wasting space in my closet.

Yes.

EDIT:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/haptodysphoria

Noun

haptodysphoria (uncountable)

1. An odd, disagreeable sensation felt by certain people when handling peaches, velvet or other fuzzy surfaces.

Well, peaches don't bother me at all, and I can't think of any other fuzzy surface that does. But I don't like the feel of velvet at all.

And while I haven't touched it recently

maybe partly because I avoid it

I'm pretty sure that, like OP, it bothered me more when I was younger.

EDIT2: I don't experience anything like it being in my teeth, as OP does, just find it distinctly unpleasant. I remember looking at portraits of women wearing velvet dresses and thinking that they had to be outright masochists to have their entire body draped in the stuff.

I also can't think of any other fabric that I have a similar dislike for. I don't much like scratchy wool, but finer wool is fine, and even with rough wool, it's not the same sensation at all.

EDIT3:

Now I'm just imagining what this this would have to feel like:

Gahhhh.

EDIT4: Further discussion in the thread and reflection later, it's not just velvet. Suede also does it (not as strongly, I guess), and new microfiber blankets can cause a limited degree of the same sensation for me. And it's associated with movement against the fabric.

What about the almost wet feeling material (microfiber?) they make a lot of throw blankets out of?

It doesn't bother me, but my wife absolutely hates the feeling of terry cloth. Apparently that is common for people with ADHD (which she has) and autism. The main area I can relate is microfiber towels. I think those feel terrible. It's like I can feel the strands catching on each skin cell.

Yes! Ew! My best friend has a velour couch and she lays a blanket down for me when I come to hang out because I hate touching it. Also, carpet. I dry heave when I have to vacuum carpet, something to do with going against the grain. Ugh.

Yes! I also can’t stand the feeling of dry hands/feet, getting them dusty, or lettuce rubbing against lettuce 🙀

Velvet feels roughly the same to me as being in a dark room when it's 110° with no air movement.

It's horrible and I hate it. A partner in the past stopped wearing a velvet item of clothing. Not because I asked - I would never - but because I touched her noticably less when she'd wear it. I cannot stand the feeling.

Edit: peaches don't bother me at all.

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".

Velvet, and putting on cotton socks when your feet are wet.

Both feel horrible! I don't mind holding a peach though

Why do you have velvet in your teeth?

My wife does lol. Cotton balls too, for the same reason.

I'm the opposite! I love the feeling of it

nah entirely the opposite but I do get where you are coming from. there's some carpet grains that make my teeth hurt and vibrate when i rub on them (or even think about it)

I love that you commented about this! I totally agree and would never have thought to bring it up lol

It makes me feel gross too. Glad I’m not alone.
