for me it really depends on the clothes. 99.999% of the time I know my clothes are on me. I have one shirt that makes me feel naked 
When I wear it, I have to double check I actually put a shirt on. |

I find that I am always aware of my clothes, seams, collars, cuffs,waistebands etc. I am officially an NT, at least I've lived that way all my life. Cor my wife suspects tht may not be accurate, and I do score high on the Aspie side of a couple of the quizes I have taken, but in any case, Girl, you are not alone in feeling your clothes.

that sounds about right to me spokane. i feel clothes for maybe the first few minutes after i put them on but then i more or less forget the feeling. now i DO feel the seams of my socks and stuff it they are in the wrong place and the shoe is pressing against them, or if the clothes don't fit well or something.
i don't usually feel them just from switching positions, but sometimes i do. i've never really thought much about it before...hmmm...in day to day living, i'm just aware of them for a few minutes each day. i mean, the feeling is always THERE, but it's easy to tune out i guess most of the time. i don't think about them much, if that's what you mean
i'm probably confusing you more than i'm helping you LOL. i'll shut up now 
EDIT: unless something brings it to my attention, my brain screens out the feeling of my clothes, and then when something DOES bring it to my attention, i think about it for a little bit then screen it out again. hopefully that makes more sense  |

I'm an NT and only feel clothes when I put it on, and then forget about it. I like to look at it when I'm waering it and sometimes touch it,specially when its something I think I look pretty in it  |

I'm pretty new here and don't know what "NT" means, but unless I'm pretty focused on something I'm nearly always aware of any clothes or shoes I'm wearing. And I'm aware of my hair as often as not, especially if it's past time to get my bangs trimmed.

it depends on the clothes but i have to agree that i just don't usually notice them unless they're uncomfortable or something, except for shoes for the first week or two after i have had to get out of my sandels.
it's not like feeling naked, just like not being aware of the sensation of them, although now i am very conciusly aware of my clothes but couldn't really describe how they feel.
interesting post.
(by the way NT means neuro typical (aka "normal") people, or rather those not on the spectrum or diagnosed(dx'd) with any neurological disability) |
