Extreme internal screaming at the feeling of socks that had the wrong texture. I couldn't find the words to explain what was so intolerable, so I just seemed like a demon child some mornings before school while my mother forced shoes over my feet to trap them in their torture chambers.
I'm not a parent so please take this with a grain of salt.
Talk to your children about feelings. Teach them how to speak when they're having trouble expressing their emotions. This was not a skill my parents ever nurtured, which would have saved much pain.
While I never felt this strongly about it, I definitely am particular about my socks.
If I had a pair with different textures or design, I'd have to replace one of them otherwise it would bother me the entire day.
I also have to make sure that they're as even with each other as possible. Is one reaching slightly higher than the other? Unacceptable. I have to fix it.
I was looking through this community because my daughter was recently diagnosed, but this comment hit a nerve.
I cannot stand socks that feel wrong, and no, I cannot explain what exactly "wrong" means. I don't own more than 1 identical pair of socks: each pair has a clear left and right sock, so mixing up 2 identical pairs is a nightmare.
