To 5 Things you can't stand


1. Being touched. It doesn't matter if you're family or a stranger, don't touch me.
2. The smell of italian sausage being cooked
3. Oversexualized Dracula stories. It's necrophilia people. It's not romantic. Yuck!
4. Superhero movies- oh look, another blue beam shot into the sky or some stupid multiverse nonsense
5. Long form TV shows- stop dangling the carrot in front of me and finish the story once and a while. I don't have 12 hours to dedicate to your stupid twists and turns.

What are yours?

Eehh, can stand just about anything. SOme things I could do without....

1. One doesn't like sudden loud noises

2. While in physical therapy - a lady, a very nice lady I'm sure - never shut up. I'd be there for 2 hours - she would yap away the entire time. After about an hour I'd start thinking "Man, will you please shut up!".

3. Something one is starting to notice with old friends - not being yourself. There are a couple of guys from my youth one has been in contact with recently. Felt like saying "OK, I get it, we all put an act on to a certain degree out in the world. But when you are talking to someone that knows you, an old friend, you can just be yourself, the act isn't necessary".

4. Greedy people that act like they are doing things for any other reason than the profit involved for themselves.

5. In entertainment, the phony efforts to get publicity.

Beets
Green Bean Casserole
People who can't put their phones down during social situations - dinner, parties, etc.
Tailgaters
Shopping - just for the sake of it - just looking for something to buy.

Sex must be difficult for you but then you're probably asexual. I only like to be touched when it's appropriate. Nothing wrong with a handshake either. You sound like you're neurotic or worse. Only in 21st Century America!

1. Cockroaches
2. Superhero movies sequels. (I don't mind one original superhero flick if it stops there.)
3. Pop music
4. Drivers who make a full stop to turn or change lanes.
5. Smug pretentiousness

It's actually Sensory Processing Disorder. I was diagnosed in 1990. 3 years of occupational therapy with follow up routines I do every day. Imagine brushing your body with a plastic brush twice a day for a decade or two only to be okay with touching family members some of the time. It would be nice if it was just neurotic behavior. Physically though, it makes military service relatively easy as simple noises or changes in pressure wake me up. Best fire guard you'll ever have.
