I have the same thing. I was born with it actually. My mother used to tell me that when i was still in her stomach, i would rub her enbelical cord. She didnt know what i was doing until i was born. You see, when i was born, the doctor had a satin tie on and the only way to keep me from crying was to let me rub the satin between my fingers. Now I am 16 and to this day an i still rub satin between my fingers. Its the only was i can sleep, calm down, and/ or feel comfortable. What i do is have tiny pieces of satin and put it either in my jacket pocket or pants pocket. You see, for years i have thought i was weird. That there was something wrong with me. But now i realize, there isn't. I havent told anyone about my habit. Im afraid they will laugh at me or think i am very odd. But i realized, if they do, thwy really don't care for me because they would know i cant help it. I mean Ive tried to quit multiple of times but it hasn't done a thing. It just makes the withdrawal worse. And makes me not sleep.
So to answer your comment, no you are not weird or alone. Alot of us do it, we just gotta find them. I am glad you found some people like you :) please dont think it's jot jormal because its what made you who you are. Dont be ashamed for that. Embrace it c:
Is it normal to have an addiction to rubbing satin things?
