    Must wear socks at all times, socks must not flop at the toe or they are sent to die a horrible death.

      Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.

        Well… You certainly have a way with words… Some might characterize it as “slightly nauseating,” but that still counts as ‘a way’ if you ask me.

    Only socks with shoes. Can’t wear shoes without socks, but once the shoes come off the socks have to as well.

    Socks are required at all times, especially indoors, unless showering or in bed. No socks in bed. Socks may be taken off if my feet get too hot but the socks must be left nearby to put back on, and also feet cannot touch floor. Socks nearby can only be then used to retrieve new socks as socks should never be put back on once removed unless in an emergency such as getting too hot.

    Ideally said socks are then inside slippers to provide additional insulation from evil floor textures, but no slippers without socks. Also socks can never be pure white, that is disgusting, socks must be ideally black, but dark is fine as long as not majority white fabric. Socks must be tight enough to not move, but also not too tight as to cause discomfort. Also that inside seam near the toes must never be noticeable. If it is, those are coming off immediately and getting thrown away.

    Boy this sounds insane when I type out all my rules…

      Eh, not insane. Except for no socks in bed. The socks must be perfectly clean and dry to be bed socks, they cannot have touched any other surface before being worn in bed. The inside of the washing machine and the basket are ok surfaces, though.

        Same; I have bed socks and house socks, and if the bed socks touch the floor anywhere outside the bed they become the new house socks

    …neither? Why do people keep asking how autistic my ADD is? Seriously.

    I prefer just wearing socks with no shoes when I play drums, so I can feel the pedal, and without them my feet will be cold on the metal. Is that what you mean sensory issues?

    It’s not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks. Not everything needs to be pathologized.

      But do you get unexplainable discomfort when you aren’t wearing socks? That’s the sensory issue. If you don’t get that, then it’s just a preference.

        I might be a person with ADHD in a ADHD community but that doesn’t mean that I need to view everything through that lens. ADHD explains many things in my life but not all things. It might be a sensory issue for some but I’m talking about myself here. Me disagreeing with a meme is not an attack on your identity.

          This part feels like you talking about yourself, and everyone agrees.

          Not everything needs to be pathologized.

          People are taking this as an assertion that sock preference should not be pathologized and cannot be related to ADHD.

          Clearly not what you meant, but the phrasing you used is ambiguous enough to not differentiate between “not everything about myself is pathologized” vs “please stop pathologizing everything”

    Always wearing socks unless I’m bathing. No exceptions. Even at the beach. Even in the water. The socks don’t come off.

    The first time my now wife saw me take off my socks she had a freak out like she didn’t believe they’d actually come off. Like watching someone remove their own skin.

    I go through socks like nobody’s business. Recently upgraded to crew socks to get more durability.

    Socks all the time. All the time. all the fucking time. If socks didn’t get wet in the shower I’d wear them in there.

    Edit: actually, thinking about it, wet socks are probably worse than anything. Like buzzing insects make my brain itchy and my spine tickle, but wet socks do something far far far worse.

    Socks bad, shoes bad

    They are feet prisons.

    Bare feet club represent.

    We rally against the evil places that require shoes to enter. Boo them!

    What about “socks must have broken elastic”, “socks must be tight” and “both socks must be the same”?

    Shoes require socks, that’s fine. If I’m not wearing shoes the socks come off. This makes going to friends homes sometimes awful if I’m wearing just socks. Sweaty prisons

    I have socks can only be worn inside out sensory issues. The seam is evil. The seam cannot touch my toes. Get the seam away from me, the seam is like nails on a chalkboard, if I feel the seam all I can think about is the seam, the wiggly, stupid, always there, annoying, ever-present seam. Fuck you, seam.

    But if I’m at home I’m naked. Just straight up.like, not no socks, no clothing at all

      Inside out socks is the answer! The seam truly is evil and I can’t understand why no one else seems to notice.

      I expect many of the “no socks” people would be happier if they just turned them inside out.

      *(For anyone looking to try this, I’ve been told you need to start with new socks, you can’t convert right-side in socks to inside-out socks.)

        Oh my god, I couldn’t imagine right side out socks being used inside out. The pills. It would be like having hundreds of little seams always touching your toes. My head hurts just thinking about it.

      I feel like I’m in your camp, but we also hate each other.

      I’ll wear socks for a bit, get annoyed, take them half off, therefore I’m wearing 2 halves, thus, 1 sock.

      If I take them fully off my toes get the chills
