Jarring used to describe touch?

I have never seen jarring used to describe a physical touch, it’s usually to denote emotional “shock” or “surprise”. Technically, it can be used interchangeably with shock/jolt.

A jarring touch would be like shaking someone to get their attention. I agree with the other commenter, it's technically correct but "jarring" is usually used to describe emotions, not physical touch.

I have seen it.   it's more a reference to a full-body sensation though - as opposed to something you'd discern with your own fingertips.   and more commonly as a verb.   for example, "paramedics are trained to avoid jarring the patient during transfer".

jarring would be used in the context of your resting and someone comes and shakes you, that is jarring.

Thanks for all your responses. So jarring is not used for touch. More like emotions

i’ve not heard of someone describing something as jarring to the touch. maybe “jarring” in this context would mean something like “i expected this to be warm but it’s cold” some of the other examples don’t make a lot of sense either. how does something physically feel numb, nurturing, gripping (perhaps they meant grippy?) or pounding?

I'm going to go against the grain here, and say yes, it *could* be used for touch sensations. Jarring refers to anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, particularly a sensation - a sensory input - which causes distress. Something unexpected. It's most often used in terms of sight and sound, but it could also be applied to touch. For example, if I kick a football but it's been filled with rocks as a prank, that's jarring. A rough aeroplane landing is jarring.

Everyone talking about jarring and I'm just staring at jittery. What? I guess something that is jittery might move a lot but I still wouldn't use it to describe a touch sensation.

It would be unexpected or shocking! Like if someone with cold hands touches you and it catches you off gaurd

Jarring to explain touch meaning touching or being touched in a not so pleasant and surprising manner.

I will keep it because I don't know half the words. It would also be nice if there were pictures of kitchen utensils and their names, because I can't even remember the basic words.

All of these are words that can be used to describe my body

I would say that "jarring" doesnt actually describe touch, but it can describe your response to touch Most of these, such as "bumpy" describe the object being touched. "Jarring" does not describe the object, it describes the toucher, not the touchee Similarly, "cloying" describes the experience of tasting, but it is not a word that describes taste One is an objective descriptor and the other is a subjective descriptor

Gripping and gentle are also weird choices. Most of the words are adjectives used to describe an object (e.g., The object is soft/warm/dry.) Gripping is a either a verb (I am gripping the object) or an adjective that has nothing to do with touch (The movie was gripping.) And gentle would describe the person touching the object, rather than the object itself.
