Sensory issues are generally paired with ADHD or ASD (idk about other forms of neurodivergency). Stimming can kinda help with it for some people.

likely sensory issues. im not a pro, but i have sensory issues similar to what you describe that are tied in with my adhd. again, i cant diagnose anythung but u should bring it up to someone who can if you get the chance. otherwise, i'd try gloves or mittens

good luck smug

i have something similar- i cant touch (or think ab touching) chalky things, it gives me really bad chills and makes my brain like stop functioning-? its not as bad as yours though, so please talk to a parent or guardian.

@1312_kandi_kid_1312: yeah depression doesn't cause that lmao, you might have smth else that's just undiagnosed. if it becomes a problem that gets in the way of your daily functioning, i think it'd be best for you to bring it up to someone. like your parent/guardian, doctor, therapist, school counselor, whoever you trust enough?

uh, the only explanation i can really think of is that you have sensory issues if it's something as common as paper,,, i have something relatively similar where i CANNOT touch semi-glossy paper (like the kind they print a lot of cardstock on,, it's hard to explain, but there's a specific kind that's not regular paper or super glossy paper like they print stickers on)), and i'm almost certain i have add/adhd or maybe asd although i haven't been diagnosed with anything

@cakebunny: i have only been diagnosed with depression
