Since I was a little girl I pulled and caressed my earlobes but also tucked my earlobes into my ear canal. It feels wonderful to do ... one at at time or both...that is awesome! I would feel such a feeling of calming and sooth me. Is this normal?
I have been googling this for YEARS trying to find my tribe.lol
I've been doing this since I was tiny, I am now 60. Managed to stop sucking my thumb at 11 but earlobes - still love them. Yes, cold is better - I even turn over in bed to use the cool one when the other gets too warm! I've always thought maybe it was a slightly autistic kind of thing (I'm not autistic btw) but... As a little girl I felt my Dad's ears but I've not done it with anybody else (love cats tho!)
Just wanted to check if anybody else has ever thought about (or solved) the question of what it is that feels good - the lobe or the ear canal? I've come to the conclusion it has to be both together... I was once teaching in a school and a 10 year old girl and I got chatting, and she had always had that exact same question!
Weird... And hi, this is my first post - I joined especially!
Oh my gosh! Its nice to know we're not alone! Funny you should mention you turn over in bed to use the cool one. I do that too!!!! When I'm out in the cold and both lobes get cold, there's something so satisfying to push both lobes in at once and just enjoy...lol!
Nice to meet you my tribe member. 🙂
HOW WEIRD!!!!!!!
LOL I love this place. I have literally been looking for other people who do this for about 40 years.
I started this string around 9 years ago thinking I'll just put it out there and see what happens and to my surprise, I've had a few comments that they also have this experience. Nice to know I'm not alone.
When I was little, I remember my family trying to stop me from doing it. They'd say stop pulling on your ears!! I guess they worried my lobes would be hanging to the floor. Lol! Which really never happened. I dont think we're actually pulling on them...its more tucking them in or caressing them over my thumb when there cold. Them doing that made me very self conscious about ever letting anyone seeing me doing it. I believe I do a good job not letting anyone see me now.
Sure feels nice to be able to talk about it with someone that shares my joy! 😁
Ha ha!! My son pulls the tops of ears and tucks them in. Strange looking. He doesn't have Dumbo ears but he has done it for so long that it's real plyable.
How the hell... O_O You must have some long ear lobes to be able to do that.
Haha my fiance does that, he says the same thing!!! I think its weird, but everone has their thing.
