My BF 22Yrs old is sensitve to touch , he freaks out at scratching noises. What's wrong?
Here's my Story I have a boyfriend. In the beginning of our relationship he lied quite often. He said he visit many countries, won championships, was the president of his college, I found out later on it was all lies and forgave him internally because I thought he was trying to impress me, he still won't admit they were lies. Getting back to the point . I noticed he is sensitive to me cutting his nails. He says it hurts. He is also sensitive to me scratching lottery tickets he says it gives him a funny sensation in his teeth. His parents comment on him having artificial ear drums and as an infant having the german measless. I wonder if there is something wrong with him . Can anyone try to help me with this?

I'm sure a Physician would help both of you. He has issues. How serious these are are for a Physician to decide; if you can "live" with them is your decision.

Why are you cutting his nails? Is he an invalid of some sort?

Hes afraid to cut his nails he says it hurts. Not invalid. I cut them because it annoys me to see them long thanks for your answer

He needs to talk to a professional - something is definitely not right.

It would seem, judging by your post,that your b/f has over sensitive hearing, however, cutting the nails should not be an issue,the growth of the nail is dead tissue which would cause no pain unless you cut the nails down to low, this would then cut into what is known as.. the quick of the nail,this would cause extreme discomfort and lots of pain.
I suggest that you allow him to cut his own nails in future,that way he will know how far down to cut them.

Lots of people have noises that put their teeth on edge,like chalk on a chalk board to mention one that puts my teeth on edge, this is not unusual.

Many people invent a fantasie world for all kinds of reasons but to continue to uphold the fantasie after being found out is unusual.I think you need to try and find out why he invented this fantasie, this will be the key to everything else I suspect.

Perhaps OP will come back and tell us if she's cutting into the quick OR if just thinks cutting the nail itself causes him pain.

Yes, he needs to be seen by a doctor, perhaps a few.
Also counseling if he refuses to admit the truth or perhaps even believes the lies
