Must wear socks at all times, socks must not flop at the toe or they are sent to die a horrible death.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Well... You certainly have a way with words... Some might characterize it as "slightly nauseating," but that still counts as 'a way' if you ask me.

I have 'i feel other people's piercings' sensory issues.

Look, she’s still not gonna let you feel her boobs.

As in, you feel compelled to touch other people's piercings, or you feel a sensation like you have the same piercing on your body?

[–] FRYD@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Looking other people’s piercings definitely gives me a slight sympathetic pain in the same spot on my body.

If it's any help, my nipple piercings Were Not painful :3

Piercing, scars or any other noticeable thing like that in someone else gives me a sensation on the same spot on my body if I see/recognize/notice it. If someone gets punched, kicked or injured in a movie or such I also can get a similar sensation but to a lower degree if I frame it in my mind that it is fake, if someone visibly breaks a bone or gets injured in a sports game then that has a much more distinct, acute and entirely unpleasant sensation. I don’t watch much sports to keep that from happening.

I believe it is a type of synesthesia called Mirror Touch.

Only socks with shoes. Can’t wear shoes without socks, but once the shoes come off the socks have to as well.

Same. I can't wear shoes without socks, and I can't wear socks without shoes. It's a both or neither situation.

Socks are required at all times, especially indoors, unless showering or in bed. No socks in bed. Socks may be taken off if my feet get too hot but the socks must be left nearby to put back on, and also feet cannot touch floor. Socks nearby can only be then used to retrieve new socks as socks should never be put back on once removed unless in an emergency such as getting too hot.

Ideally said socks are then inside slippers to provide additional insulation from evil floor textures, but no slippers without socks. Also socks can never be pure white, that is disgusting, socks must be ideally black, but dark is fine as long as not majority white fabric. Socks must be tight enough to not move, but also not too tight as to cause discomfort. Also that inside seam near the toes must never be noticeable. If it is, those are coming off immediately and getting thrown away.

Boy this sounds insane when I type out all my rules…

..........neither? Why do people keep asking how autistic my ADD is? Seriously.

I prefer just wearing socks with no shoes when I play drums, so I can feel the pedal, and without them my feet will be cold on the metal. Is that what you mean sensory issues?

[–] whoisthedoktor@lemmy.wtf 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Socks bad, shoes bad

They are feet prisons.

Bare feet club represent.

We rally against the evil places that require shoes to enter. Boo them!

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Shoes require socks, that’s fine. If I’m not wearing shoes the socks come off. This makes going to friends homes sometimes awful if I’m wearing just socks. Sweaty prisons

Socks all the time. All the time. all the fucking time. If socks didn't get wet in the shower I'd wear them in there.

Edit: actually, thinking about it, wet socks are probably worse than anything. Like buzzing insects make my brain itchy and my spine tickle, but wet socks do something far far far worse.

It's not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks. Not everything needs to be pathologized.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 22 points 5 days ago

But do you get unexplainable discomfort when you aren't wearing socks? That's the sensory issue. If you don't get that, then it's just a preference.

[–] 6mementomorib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you're in an adhd community, the assumption is that it is indeed a sensory issue.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I might be a person with ADHD in a ADHD community but that doesn't mean that I need to view everything through that lens. ADHD explains many things in my life but not all things. It might be a sensory issue for some but I'm talking about myself here. Me disagreeing with a meme is not an attack on your identity.

[–] bisby@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

It’s not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks.

This part feels like you talking about yourself, and everyone agrees.

Not everything needs to be pathologized.

People are taking this as an assertion that sock preference should not be pathologized and cannot be related to ADHD.

Clearly not what you meant, but the phrasing you used is ambiguous enough to not differentiate between "not everything about myself is pathologized" vs "please stop pathologizing everything"

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

I have must wear socks at all times UNTIL I'm suddenly all at once done with them then I MUST take them off

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 4 days ago

I'm a no socks is too cold, socks is to hot, so I have to constantly be taking them off and on.

[–] tastetheplague@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I like to subvert expectations by only ever wearing one sock.

Socks on all times, sometimes thigh highs cause I'm homosexual like that B)

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Always wearing socks unless I’m bathing. No exceptions. Even at the beach. Even in the water. The socks don’t come off.

The first time my now wife saw me take off my socks she had a freak out like she didn’t believe they’d actually come off. Like watching someone remove their own skin.

I go through socks like nobody’s business. Recently upgraded to crew socks to get more durability.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 15 points 5 days ago

As a no socks gang member, this is horrifying lol

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 11 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Darn Tough socks. Super durable, and lifetime warranty

You’re like a foot never-nude!

Do the wet socks at the beach not bother you? I hate the feeling of wet socks.

Neither. Must wear socks when in the mood for socks.

[–] psion1369@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I only wear socks when I have to, and then they have to match exactly. Otherwise, barefoot and flip flops as much as possible.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago
[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

I have socks can only be worn inside out sensory issues. The seam is evil. The seam cannot touch my toes. Get the seam away from me, the seam is like nails on a chalkboard, if I feel the seam all I can think about is the seam, the wiggly, stupid, always there, annoying, ever-present seam. Fuck you, seam.

But if I'm at home I'm naked. Just straight up.like, not no socks, no clothing at all

[–] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I've never tried them inside out...

Any "underwear sensory issues" folk in the house? I do not mean that in any sort of sexy way but in a "dear God get it off me" way.

Depends lol, I sometimes hate the feel of socks and other times I need the extra warmth lol

[–] psvrh@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What about "socks must have broken elastic", "socks must be tight" and "both socks must be the same"?

[–] nemo@piefed.social 7 points 5 days ago

Socks must be tight and go as high up the calf as possible.

Socks all the time..but not the ones with stitches on the toes! That's unbearable!

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I have "beaten as a child because I complained about my socks too often and now it doesn't matter if I wear them or not because it makes me equally anxious either way" sensory issues

I took a while to toughen up my feet, did some barefoot hiking and trail running. Now it honestly doesn't bother me. You can just get in the mood that, my feet are cold and that's fine. So I guess I wear socks when I want to.

[–] nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 3 points 4 days ago

wool stirup-ankle warmers finger shoes.

socks when no braincells, unless the floor is pretty clean. then warmers or barefoot.

Natural fibers only unless sport material. Too many brands sneaking polyester and acrylic in. Sweatmakers.

It costs so to opt out of plastic...

must have same size/tension. DIY taught me such.

I've worn these sandals pretty much exclusively for the past ~7 years. I'm on my third pair.

Team socks, and if I need to be productive: socks, shoes and pants must be tight. Otherwise is couch potato mode and cannot function.
