comforting touch
I roll the fringe on the edge of blankets or towels or tassels on asian tchotkes in between my knuckles. I do this because my security blanket when I was little had a fringe. only certain types of fringe work, if it is too soft it won’t work, it has to make a sort of sharp sensation, soft won’t work. I do this so much I develop big, ugly calluses on my knuckles. I call it ‘frizzling,” thought of that when I was little. I enjoy it but hate the calluses, so I’m conflicted about it. I love to relax and frizzle, but feel guilty ’cause then my hands are ugly. sometimes people think the calluses are warts.

OMG!!!! I NEVER met anyone else in the world that does that! I have been doing it since I was like a year old, and I know exactly what you mean by the “sharp” feeling. Soft fabrics just don’t produce. I also use the hems of my tee-shirts, they end up looking all stretched out. I never came up with a name for it though. Try low thread-count quilts and sheets – they are quite satisfying!
i’m kinda like that..currently sitting wrapped in my childhood blanket, obsessively sniffing one corner of it..
I do the same thing and ive done it my entire life.. people always look at me like im a weird ass when i do it.. if u like it really sharp try sewing thread.. its my favorite

I love this website.
Only here can you meet someone who shares the EXACT same messed up personal thing you happen to do.
I haven’t grown out of this, but I’ve sort of developed a new “thing” out of this desire…called trichotillomania. I’d rather not go into details.
