Soft Compression Impulse Syndrome: Compulsive Urge to Squash Cozy Objects

Soft Compression Impulse Syndrome: Compulsive Urge to Squash Cozy Objects

This concept describes a psychological pattern where individuals experience an overwhelming desire to press down, squash, or lie on anything that appears soft and comforting. The impulse is driven by sensory gratification and an instinctive need for physical interaction with plush textures.

Key Traits:

1. Irresistible Urge: Feeling compelled to press, sit, or lie on soft objects.

2. Sensory-Seeking Behavior: Deriving pleasure from the physical compression of plush or cushiony textures.

3. Lack of Awareness of Consequences: Engaging in the behavior despite potential damage to objects or discomfort to others.

DSM-5 Perspective:

This behavior may align with traits of:

Sensory Processing Sensitivity: Heightened response to tactile sensations.

Impulse Control Disorder: Difficulty resisting urges related to physical sensations.

Obsessive-Compulsive Traits: Repetitive engagement in texture-seeking behaviors.

Note: This concept is not a clinical diagnosis. For accurate assessment, consult a licensed mental health professional.
