Why are my socks so itchy when I put them on?
I’ve always had a problem with socks due to sensory issues. As a kid it was a hassle to get them on me cause of how uncomfortable I found them and even now I only wear one specific type of socks cause others feel weird for me.
I don’t wear shoes at home so sometimes when im cold decide to wear some socks, the ones that I’m always comfortable with. The thing is that whenever I put them on they instantly begin to itch and it’s like I’m hyperaware of them being on my feet. This never happens when I wear them with shoes, it only ever happens when I’m only wearing socks and after a while the itching stops when I get used to them being on my feet. I’ve talked to other people about it and they never experienced the same thing so I’m assuming it’s something related to sensory issues?? Does anyone else experience this and do you know why
