What makes your “skin crawl”
- Thread starter Gwynbleidd
- Start date
People with acne whiteheads that look like they're about to burst.
Like fam, just pop that shit.

Not much in real life, and it's more pure dread. The thought of (spoilers for the Old Guard)
What happened to Quinh. Being immortal, stuck in a metal case on the bottom of the ocean. Drowning, coming back to life, drowning again, and again, and again...without knowing if and how it's ever gonna stop. Seems like actual hell. Definitely makes my skin crawl.
Take a few folded up paper towels. Bite down on them and then move your teeth from side to side while biting down. It's the worst sensation on the planet.
Certain smooth surfaces, especially touching them with my fingertips. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester are the worst, but I can't stand satin either. Even the brushed metal of my phone is suspect.
Nylon is so bad I can't even look at people wearing all-nylon jackets for example. Hell just thinking about it and typing this makes me recoil.
I consider it a legitimate allergy. One that runs in the family, because my grandfather had the same reaction to cotton pads and my uncle suffered from it, too.

Tooth or nail injuries.
I volunteered in a hospital for three years as a teenager and got nice and comfortable with seeing all manner of other horrific injuries. Blood doesn't phase me and even bones sticking through skin stopped being a issue after the first couple I saw... but something about broken teeth or torn/split nails just always ruins me.
Beyond that…. Centipedes aren't great, I guess? Or swarms of maggots. But both to a much lesser degree than the teeth/nails thing.

Just the sight of cockroaches. I grew up with a lot of fear of them, especially when they evolve and start flying. I can't even google about them to learn more because they terrify me that much.
Couple of things:
- Arguments/Yelling - Particularly if it's from a group of men. With women I'm not as bothered by it, it's just with guys I guess I don't fully trust how they'll act around other people and it puts me on edge.
- Wasps - Having them around makes me stand still and bolt out of the room if the wasp starts inspecting my face up close
- Vomit - Seeing people throw up or just on the ground makes me feel pure disgust
This. I hate any kind of creepy crawling bug. Vermin I say! Kill them with fire!
What I came to post. My dad manages to scrape his fork on the plate a dozen times everytime he has a meal. It doesn't just make me wince, it triggers a violent response and makes me want to hit someone.
I have no remorse to kill roaches, but I legit runaway if I do see one. I haven't seen one in ages, however, so I'm just glad that I'm not in an environment where they would present themselves.
Huge centipedes. I had one run across my bare foot once when I was a student, and since then, just thinking about them makes me super uncomfortable.
Also, those toads that carry their babies under a layer of skin in their back. I've seen a gif a decade ago of the moment they all pop out and it's the origin story of my trypophobia.

The thought of having finger/toe nails ripped out. I can't take even thinking about it for too long.
Seeing someone who is sweating all over and is not immediately running to a shower.
my worst fear in university was sitting next to someone in class who was sweaty and stinky. even thinking about it makes me feel icky.
one of the reasons why i dislike living in south florida.

Not all spiders, but specifically ones with tiny bodies and long thin legs. Daddy long legs. I never liked spiders, but as a kid I went to a summer camp in the woods and there was this cabin near the pool we used for changing into swimsuits. It was just stalls with hanging curtains for "doors," so the curtain is obviously bunched up to one side when you enter one of the stalls. I went into one, pulled the curtain to cover the opening, and there were probably 15 huge daddy long legs that had been in the folds of the closed curtain. They started crawling all over the curtain and I was literally frozen in fear until I eventually had an opening and ripped the curtain open to gtfo of there.
