It relates to the uncomfortable sensation one gets when touching soft things, like cotton balls or peach fuzz. I just love that a word exists for such a feeling; also, *I often experience haptodysphoria, and it’s nice to have a word to describe it.
(*no; "i" don't really 'often experience it'... but that is solely because i don't like the feeling of cotton balls and generally avoid them..)
(you MUST visit "myfavoritewords" which allows people to write in their "favorite" words.. full of oddities, "Sesquipedalian" words, rarities, and generally a collection of words leaving you with an *all-overish(*it's in the oed) feeling of giddiness... or nausea.
