Ladies, even when you wear something loose-fitting round your neck, do you get the feeling that you can't take it, it seems to choke you?

I feel that way about my wrists. I don’t wear bracelets or watches, and I prefer my sleeves to be either ¾ length or long enough that I’m wearing them more around the palms of my hands. Hospital tags and those paper bracelets they make you wear at concerts to show you’re old enough to drink bug the hell out of me. Doubly so because they always want to put it on my right wrist.

@Seek_Kolinahr, strange. You can’t connect it to a past experience, right?

I’ve never been duct-taped and stuck in a closet if that’s what you’re asking. ^_^ All of my wrist-binding experiences have been positive and consensual. I just think the skin is a little sensitive and the sensation of stuff rubbing on them is annoying.

I can wear jewelry and scarves, but I dislike turtlenecks.

Yes, I feel as though when I wear a scarf I am going to get tangled in it and it will strangle me. I thought I was the only one? I also have to have the pressure far away from my throat.

I don’t wear necklaces or turtlenecks, so I couldn’t say.

I’ve never been interested in purchasing one, but I don’t think I’ve ever stumbled across turtlenecks at a clothing store. On the rare occasion when I see someone wearing one, I always wonder where the hell they got it. It’s a pretty pointless and odd-looking garment if you ask me. I’d rather wear a scarf if my neck really got that cold, which it doesn’t.

I don’t have that issue, but a good friend of mine does. She always jokes that she must have been strangled in a former life. :-)

I have the same problem. It didn’t bother me when I was a teenager. During the onset of my thyroid problems, I developed an intolerance for anything touching my neck. Even items that would just lay against my neck gave me a choking, strangled feeling. Probably has something to do with my thyroid increasing in size. I haven’t worn a turtleneck in 20 years. Sometimes I have trouble with crew neck shirts that are too close to the neck.

No, I wear a necklace all the time (I feel naked without it) and if I didn’t wear a scarf to work at this time of year I’d freeze!
