It's only if it's in the front of my neck for me. Even my own hair or hands makes it feel uncomfortable. Anyone else?
Im very sensitive around the front of my neck and i cant stand anything touching it or getting near it. I can sometimes tolerate chokers if they are skin tight but not any tighter, it has to be perfect but after a while i cant stand them. I also cant stand to have my neck exposed, when im sleeping i cant have my neck out i have to put a blanket over my neck or turn my head down. Im the same with my wrist and my ankles.
I have this too! I have had this ever since I was really little, where whenever I had on a turtle neck or a crew neck shirt, I would feel this pressure at my throat, which would, grossly, make me burp uncontrollably for a while afterward. It has made it so I cannot wear normal clothing, even if I like the look of the rest of it, and I cannot wear necklaces. I have always thought that I was alone in this, but I am glad that other people are sharing their stories too.
I don't know if ita normal or not. I was born premature and had to be put on a breathing tube when I was born but I apparently ripped it out. Now I'm not sure if I ripped it out because I hate things touching my neck or if the ripping it out caused some kind of nerve damage on the front of my neck that I still feel over 20 years later. I mean to the point that I had to do a sugar scrub on the front of it once because of reasons and I felt like I was gonna throw up while doing it. Were any of you who suffer from neck sensitivity born premature?
I signed up just to comment on this post.
I have had this for ALL my life. As a kid, I absolutely hated turtlenecks and would always stretch them out. I still do. Today, I was wearing a choker and I just had to take it off.. my sensory feelings take over and I find I have to scratch myself or dig my nails into a different part of my body to distract that discomfort.
I cannot explain it. It feels so.. ugh. Annoying. I can't enjoy chokers without feeling this sensory overload at the front of my neck. Typing this out is making it feel iffy again.
I have no idea what this is. It frustrates me.
No, this is not normal. This happened to me when I was in my 20's and it went away about a year later. Now I am in my 60's and it is back after going through an excruciating withdrawal from Xanax and Ambien. It took me about 4 months to get off, but my nerves are still not healed. I think the drugs may have caused some nerve damage because one of the withdrawal symptoms was burning in my neck. When the burning stopped, my skin was ultra sensitive again. I cannot stand anything touching my neck, even a bra and being a D cup makes it very uncomfortable. I have so little clothes that I can tolerate right now that I have become house bound! I am hoping this will heal again like it did when I was younger, but is know how maddening it can be. I feel like I want to rip my skin off! I think it will improve as my nervous system heals. Stress and anxiety are the worst culprits, and reducing those should help. I had every doctor trying to figure it out when I was younger, even did a skin biopsy.everything was normal and with time it healed on its own. It is just good to know that I am not the only person who has experienced this. It is fairly rare.
Yes!! I can't stand it. Scarves piss me off to no end, but I have to wear them because I get so cold.
I get that way too. I even don't like the flyaway hairs touching my forehead. Drives me nuts.
Yeah me to! If an object touches my neck I always think my jugular vein is going to pop and then I will die.
I have a sensitive neck. For some reason I'm always afraid for it. It's really weird.
I guess I just feel like it's one of the most fragile areas on my body, so I worry that someone is gonna be too rough with it, and seriously damage it. But It doesn't really bother me if something touches it in a gentle way, like a strand of hair. But I've felt this way ever since I was little too. And my brother used to jokingly wrestle me in a playful way, and I always hated it when he touched my neck.
I believe it's normal. I have met a few people who can't stand anything touching their neck. My ex couldn't stand shirts without a loose collar. He would always stretch them out.
