It’s the vibration that’s made from styrofoam rubbing or biting on undercooked green beans. It can also come from walking on fresh snow. The vibration can almost be incapacitating like if a baby were crying in your spine.

    There apparently is a named phobia for Styrofoam, specifically: Styrophobia.

    Someone I knew called things like green beans “squeaky”.

    Or grinding wool between your front teeth; every example so far has made me grimace.

    I don’t know but in all seriousness I’d suspect there is a German word for it.

      Removing the cotton ball from the medicine jar.

      I’m luckily immune to that feeling. My partner can’t be in the same room as I do it. I’m also the designated “remover of objects from styrofoam packaging” person.

      I couldn’t find any to describe that specifically, but I remembered a word for the feeling when you’re trying to brush your hair and some stick to the brush so they’re getting pulled along, not necessarily ripped out though. “Ziepen”

    Hmm I don’t mind walking in snow but I know what your talking about. Especially with the green beans,it’s kinda rubbery almost. No idea what it’s called though. It’s probably related to what ever the phobia/ism is that doesn’t like the feeling/sound of nails on a chalk board. 🤔

      Likewise. Styrofoam rubbing together is like nails on a chalk board - it makes my skin painful just hearing it.

    Sounds like misophonia for touch instead of sounds.

    Chatgpt is really good at telling you the name of things by description

    Whatever this is called, I suffer from it. The squeaky sound of Styrofoam makes my eyes water and my mouth tense up to the point I can’t speak.

    For those of us who grew up around chalk boards, it’s “fingernails on a chalk board”.
