some textures are gross to me and I got a really pretty sweater that I can't wear cause the texture hurts. I feel bad because it was a gift and with the weather getting colder I want to wear it to show appreciation. the aunt that gave it to me doesn't think textures bother me and sees no issue in me putting it on. how do I explain it to her?
The way I explain my sensory issues to people is saying that textures that I can't wear are like wearing fine chainmail on my skin. If it's different for you, you could use another descriptor!
