I also "suffer" from the same situation. I grew up with it, never known anything else. It is the only thing in my life I Have ever felt addicted to. Withdrawal pains and everything. I used to wonder why I felt different in the summer and so looked forward to the winters. I've come to find out, I always buy winter jackets with nice pockets and have more blankets with those nice edges. Like others, I felt kinda stupid in college needing my blanky and I tried to suppress the need. I can stop but it is usually very difficult for me and requires constant concentration. As I have grown, I decided since it isn't hurting anyone, why deprive myself. My girlfriend calls it "shooshing" and she catches me all the time. Kind of a playful thing between us. I have no idea why I am addicted and explaining it to anyone, I feel like a moron. However, it is what it is. As addictions go, I guess I am happy I have this one.
I feel the exact same way. If I lose the one that I have I freak out! I am always looking for things that are made of the fabric I like. It's a really rough nylon. I usually buy a bunch of them so if I lose then I have replacements! It is totally an addiction but it doesn't hurt anyone (except my hand sometimes when I rub too long) so why stop. My husband thinks it's funny and could care less so I rub it while we watch tv. It's so relaxing. Nice to know I'm not alone!!!
IIN to love to rub fabrics between my fingers?

Anyone know if there is an official word for it?
