    I find differences in how people react to sensory inputs fascinating. I don’t have any problems with concrete or concrete powder. For me hell on earth are lenticular prints (not viewing them, but touching them) even hearing someone glide their finger over one makes my skin crawl

      Huh. Yeah, I have no problem with that, but I get you.

      There’s a kind of not refined pulp paper stock that was used to make cheap paperbacks, I’ve only seen it in older books from the 50s-70s, that does that to me. Only ever ran into it a few times, but if my fingernail touches it, it’s worse than being electrocuted. Full body shivers and chills. Even thinking about it tenses me up.

      You got that ASMR? Seems like there’s some overlap between things like this, like you have some things you can’t stand, some that send you into a trance, and they’re infuriatingly close sometimes.
