That could be a possibility, I do have dry skin.

Yeah everything you described is exactly how it is for me. I even held shirt collars in my mouth as a kid too.

It's both. If I have a shirt on I become hyper aware of my shirt touching my collarbone. If I'm not wearing a shirt I'm aware that it exists. When I'm not wearing a shirt it's like I feel how my skin stretches from my neck to my shoulder, or how my skin folds between my chin and my collarbone.

Sometimes I become hyper-aware of the area around my collarbone and it gets very distracting. It is most noticeable when reading and sometimes when trying to sleep. It can get to a point where I have to stop reading because of how distracting it is, and also makes it harder fall asleep.

Has anyone had anything like this and/or know of any ways to alleviate it?
