Indiscriminate Ick

An ick is used to describe a feeling of disgust. Most icks I’ve been exposed to are pretty standard, but I’ve recently identified one I think is a little strange…

You know when someone holds your hand and their thumb repeatedly rubs your thenar eminence (lower thumb fleshy area)? Yeah. That KILLS me. Anything more than 3 rubs and I immediately am trying to either pull my hand away or block the perpetrator’s thumb from moving.

What’s crazy is the ick teleported me back into my body as a child and I could remember my mom doing the same thing while we’d sit on the couch and even then, it would tweak me out!!
