Why are so many clothes uncomfortable and I must fidget with them??

ADHD Support / by Megalomentaurus

...See more This is a quick vent of mine and also an act of reaching for possible solutions and support. I'm so fed up with myself. I have ADHD and autism. Throughout my life, I hate wearing most types of pants. My socks also cause me to constantly fidget with my toes when wearing them. It was so bad when I was younger, for pants specifically, that my dad and mom had to force me to wear them. I would cry and throw tantrums over not wanting to wear them and prefer freezing and the risk of getting sick than wearing those dreaded pants. I would stand around, having a snotty red face with ugly tears and not want to sit, walk, run, or anything. I'd walk weirdly as I grunted and constantly huffed at my pants. I feel so stupid looking back. I am better with this, but I still HATE wearing them. I more so grunt occasionally and constantly wish to go home from school, so I can finally take those stupid pants off. I much prefer shorts and a short t-shirt. Forget about me being able to enjoy vacations or trips into colder parts of the world, because I'm going to need PANTS FOR THIS. I hate that I feel like crying right now on how much my sensitivity makes me temperamental to a lot of things. I'm so mad at myself. This is only one of the reasons on why I feel like such a weird kid back in elementary school and how I still feel weird and stupid nowadays. My clothes must be specific to me. I hate this so much. It's also with my soap bars and how I have to take medicine for my skin because of possible eczema too. Pants make me feel trapped and I feel like I cannot move freely and relax. I feel like they put my legs in jail and they make me feel like I'm suffocating. Dramatic much? I know. I feel guilty for all the clothes that my parents buy for me when I won't wear even half of them because of how uncomfortable they are. Socks, as I said, they make me fidget my toes constantly and I cannot relax them. Pants, they cause a plethora of issues for me. Jackets, sometimes, they feel wrong and too big on me. They feel like I am suffocating slightly as well. Jackets are the least of troubles but it still sucks when I hate some type of clothes. That's all the clothes I can remember out of the top of my head. Regardless, I just needed to blow off some steam. I'd enjoy anyone, anyone out there who could suggest some good, comfortable pants, socks, jackets, etc. It will help me suggest this to my parents and I'll feel better about what I wear and also not feel so much guilt for my parent's money ad whatnot. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a good day.

Frustration with making friends.
