Could be a childhood trauma, like how some ppl are afraid of puppers, due to a bite, and I feel sorry for them

Could be a sensory thing for them, I refuse to drink soda because I just cannot stand the sensation of a fizzy drink in my mouth. Maybe something about the texture of stickers bothers them. I don't think it's weird

I’m assuming it’s a sensory thing. I can’t touch anything metallic without freezing up until I can clean whatever area was touched. I never pick up change, I don’t touch keys or doorknobs without a glove or my shirt, etc. I’ll lift my knee halfway up my chest to press the stoplight buttons before touching them with exposed skin.

sensory sensitivity is very common, although difficult for those that dont have sensory sensitivities to understand. Doesn't mean it's not normal, just different than you

Trauma and PTSD are incredibly complicated. Even something that you may not think is related can cause traumatic memories to resurface in the right conditions.

FYI he said they “look gross and feel gross.” Feel may be a sensory thing but look doesn’t make any sense

I think the fabric stuck to Velcro looks gross because it makes me think of chewing on a hairball. The mind is complicated. It doesn’t always make sense but it’s still valid.

That’s not even close to the same thing
