ELi5: Why do certain sensations like chalk on a chalkboard or rubbing styrofoam together cause your skin to crawl?
In: Other
I wish I fully understood this, I suffer from Misophonia and experience legitimate physical pain from certain noises but chalkboard doesn’t bother me and Styrofoam squeaking is actually quite fun/pleasant. I know many of my Misophonia triggers are tied to negative emotions/experiences, I wonder if stuff like chalkboard is similar to where ppl learn certain noises as annoying/agonizing/negative.
