Hey all,

I'm really curious about the varying responses you all have to what I call your "bad things" or your triggers. I just think of my stressful stimuli and responses as bad.

For instance, when my hands are dry they are bad. This means that I dont even like any part of my skin touching any piece of skin. Fingers have to be spread apart, palm outstretched. When I touch something "bad" I almost want to pull away from my skin, my jaw clenchs and I bite my cheeks/tongue. I also get really uncomfortable on my back (kind of like the shivers, but worse).

Does anyone get a milder reaction from THINKING about the things you are averse to? perversely, my brain obsesses quite easily. So sometimes I will think about touching a bad thing and I experience it almost as if it were actually happening.

I have other responses, but my tactile are the worst.
